Needle to hook timing on you Brother Embroidery or Combo sewing and embroidery is important to pick up your bobbin thread during embroidery in order to form the required "lock stitch" as your take up lever is going up tightening the lock stitch.
I am showing what the my Brother service manual states.

Attention Brother SE600 users, bookmark this vid! This works for you. Please skip to 15:26, this diagram is what you want. There SHOULD be a 1.6 - 2.0mm gap as shown here. There's a bunch of vids here on YT stating the hook should be "just above the eye" while showing literally, the hook above the eye with no gap... DON'T DO THIS!!!! The diagram shown in this video is what you want!!! So, I'd like to thank the uploader of this vid for saving me so much anguish. Here's a lil back story, it's a bit of a read, but comes to show how easy it is to make mistakes while trying to watch vids here on youtube to diagnose your issues: My issue first began when I tried to embroider a hat... BIG MISTAKE (which btw, do not use 3rd party hat hoops on an SE600, you're gonna ruin your machine). Needle ended up chewing through my bobbin case, although I didn't realize it. I started having this issue where the bottom thread would no longer catch and the bobbin case would bounce. All symptoms pointed to timing (which was wrong, it was not timing). Like a goofball, I watched some tutorials out there, changed the timing where the hook was literally above the eye of the needle with no gap. Didn't fix my issue. Eventually I came across another vid that showed why the bobbin case can suddenly bounce, they pointed out a gash on the side of the bobbin case in which thread can get land in the trench/gash and suddenly lift the entire bobbin case. BINGO. Sanded it down, that fixed it (although I did get a new bobbin case) also yea, the needle chewed up the upper area of the bobbin case too, like someone took a bite out of it. With that fixed, the embroidery started working without issue, that is until I noticed my tension tests weren't even on the under side. You embroider a column, look under it, and notice 3 columns (white in the center and color on each side) The issue was that the color on the right was thicker than the color on the left. Also when embroidering, I could see dots of white thread popping through here and there. Some would say tension, nope.. not tension!!!! It was hook timing. I remembered that I tried to adjust it earlier, but inadvertently threw it off ever so slightly. Thanks to the diagram in this vid, those white dots of thread are now gone. It would have been a grave mistake to adjust bottom tension (this literally almost needs NO adjustments, period, leave your bobbin tension alone unless it's very specialized work).

I am showing the whole movement of the needle to the hook around 13 minutes. Read the other viewers comments.

Please watch the video through 13 minutes, and yes, I see at the very end I am repeating the procedure as seen through 13 minutes. Watch again.

The needle hitting and breaking must have pushed it up into the needle bar and made the hook to miss the thread loop as it passed the needle. How did you find the needle to hook alignment?
