Very good information here...the manual never tells how to fix a problem, and, like any other machine, there is no reason why we can't fix a sewing machine. I am an IT person, I fix computers. When my sewing machine did not catch the bobbin thread, I try every way to figure out why and helplessly ended up empty hands. Thanks to your video, though you did not use proper terminology, and sometimes the filming was blurry, but the information given here was clear and valuable enough to give you a thumb up; and you are a genius to figure out this by yourself. BTW, my machine has an automatic needle threader, and it has two adjustment screws on the shank. The upper one is for the threader adjustment, the lower one is for this purpose.

@@ElizabethHopkinson We had this problem, found this video, but it was not the solution. The timing can be thrown off by another allen screw that is under the machine on the right side. I am thinking I should make a video to show it. If the timing is off, one of the two allens have loosened and let the shaft slip. Compensating with this screw if the other is loose will eventually lead to the problem happening again.

That screw thing with the L wrench is called an Allen Head "set" screw. It sets the needle positioning rod to the proper adjustment length. The L wrenches are called Allen Wrenches, not to be confused with the star shaped "torx" style screw head. Any good home hardware store will sell a kit with a driver handle and multiple size bits of the various types. Some even have a flexible extension so that you can get to screws in weird angles. Magnetic bits are nice too. I've found the kit useful for my sailrite machine

Your video helped me understand my sewing machine better! A few years ago I thought there was something wrong or faulty about my machine and I stopped using it, until now... Now I see what the problem is and fixed it! For those who didn't get it, try playing with the hook and the needle and see how the whole mechanism work. Leave the top thread intact but remove the bobbin. Basically, you want the hook to catch top thread as the needle goes up, thus forming a loop. For me, changing the direction of the needle eye helped! Thanks again!

thank you so much for taking the time to demonstrate how to adjust the timing of the bobbin and needle to work in unison so the stitching is correct. My bobbin is so out of time that the needle can't pick it up. I did maintenance on my machine and took the bobbin casing out to remove old stuck piece of thread. It sewed correctly once but I'm sure whenI put the machine away the casing moved slightly causing the timing to be off. So with your much needed help and very succinct instruvtion along with the zoomed photo demo I am certain I can do the necessary minor adjustments to create the 'just right' synchronicity between needle and bobbin. I am 65 and can't afford to take my machine in so you have also saved me a significant amount of money!! With the various videos that so many kind people have posted I have been able to save hundreds of dollars by fixing my windows, oven, refrigerator, lawn tractor, toilet, small appliances and so many other things I don't recall all of them! Given the economic state of our country it is wise to fix everything we can without having to pay for repairs until such time wages are increased to provide the opportunity to create descretionary money for these things. I'm sure upper class Americans who are in control of the pharmaceutical and insurance companies don't even have the need for a sewing machine much less own one!! Thanks for helping middle class America survive while these adverese self centered politicians get their act together to put a stop to the top 10 percent having 80 percent of the wealth in our country and only get their hands slapped when found guilty of defrauding the bulk of Americaqn people!! Sorry to include the rant but hope it serves to underscore just how much you are helping others!

This usually happens when you run over a zipper tooth or something to actually push the needle up into the machine...then you just drop the needle bar down so the hook will catch the thread. Good for your Girl !!

Makes sense. I was being forceful with my machine when this happened. I guess i need to be nice.

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this! I've been fighting with our sewing machine for ages. Sometimes it'd work fine and other times it'd just struggle big time to pick p the bobbin thread. Following your video, our machine is now working great!

I am delighted to have found this as my frustration level was getting rather high! I was afraid I would have to take the machine in and right now is not a good time to do that so I am anxious to get back to my sewing studio and work on it in the morning when I am rested. I have several machines and don't know why little things like this happen so easily. I know that keeping them clean is very important and I try to do that. But this timing thing is nuts!

You taught me a lot in how to trouble shoot a sewing machine. I can now trouble shoot my 6412 Singer. You are a good teacher Thank you
