Great video! Had to do this recently on an 8 head TFP machine. Saved my employer money when they didn't have to bring in a technician to do it. I'm always trying to learn as much as I can about the machine to do the repairs and servicing myself. Each time, I become less intimidated and feel more empowered.

Sir meri mission me jo niddle hai na wo bobbin se jake lag rahi hai

[@RameshKumar-so7zb]

super bro .thanks

[@user-py1hz9ik2i]

At our factory, they immediately make a transverse cotter pin on the axis of the shaft of the shuttle housing, so as not to suffer with the settings ... A little higher or lower is regulated by the shaft in which the needle . The distance from the hole in the needle to the tip of the shuttle should be 1.5 mm., longitudinal distance from the tip of the shuttle to the needle in the recess 0.2-0.3 mm., adjustable according to the needle number 90

[@dr-deneteus]

How do you make sure the distance between the needle hole to the tip of the shuttle is correct. Do you insert a shim and rotate the shuttle? Do you have pictures or video of this process?

[@LGordon123able]

I watched this video because i wanted to see how to put the bobbin stuff back in properly. My needle is hitting something. The needle is in properly, and the needle goes down in ok, without material, but when i try to sew, it won't go down, for it is hitting something, so that means that the mechanism is not put in properly. When you put that thing in, it looks so easy, but when i do it, i can't get it to stay in the right place to put that cover thing on, it slips out. Can you help me?

[@christyodom8952]

You’re not alone Miss Linda! I’ve used my machine several years and have done boats, canvas tops, furniture until mine bobbin had to be taken apart. I watched videos over and over and. Recommended my machine to several friends and many got them and are also in our boat. This is the first of any machine I just can’t solve the issue and I’m in the middle of a boat upholstery job I need to finish. If you find the solution, please share it with me. Thanks!

Good! I like it

[@pawanyadav-ng9pq]

Hello sir it's a very nice or good informational video. but sir plz tell me allen key (scrue driver) size .

[@9az56t82]

It was a good video but you did leave something out. Not everyone will be so lucky when they release the set screws that it's aligned. After the set screws are loosened, yes moving the needle back or forward from the hook can be done. But how do you turn it to get that 3/16 space? Where do you put a screwdriver or what????

[@user-py1hz9ik2i]

With the zig-zag function, with the right position of the needle, the distance from the nose of the shuttle to the hole in the needle should be 1 mm., This can all be adjusted by moving up and down the needle bar

[@samanthahara3422]

Thanks so much brother man.

[@franz909]

Just a suggestion , when you say i.e. " hook point " behind or in front can you point at exactly what you're talking about .

[@amaraleigh453]

I have a singer fashion mate machine and I don’t see the screws you are talking about. The driver only comes up partially on the left when you turn knob towards you. Do you have a machine similar to mines where you can do a video for me.

[@SailriteDIY]

Sorry we do not. We only sell Sailrite sewing machines. Call your Singer dealer for help, I hope they have great service like Sailrite does.

how close should the driver come to the needle, mine just barely touches the needle but does not deflect it?

[@SailriteDIY]

Yes, that is perfect left and right timing for the driver. Very close, but not touching.

I have a sailrite fabricator and it's parts do not look the same not enough to identify some critical points in the video. With the bobbin case removed my assembly is one unit. When I ordered the rotary hook all of the parts you describe came assembled as one unit. Mine has these parts: A) ? Has the set screws. Is this the Driver? It has a flat side and I don't know what direction to line the flat side up or down or sideways. B) Can't identify from your parts in the video. C) Hook. Rotates inside of A but I don't know which screws release it so it can be removed and A can be set flush. Since I don't know what screws release it I'm afraid to undo screws that other parts might come undone and I'll have more trouble on my hands. D) Bobbin case - removes Can you please copy paste the video URL for how to reset this whole assembly on the Fabricator? Your kind help would be extremely appreciated !!!
