this is Brother LX 3817 sewing machine.

You just saved me about $120 to $130 with this tutorial! I cannot thank you enough for sharing this with those who have this machine!

[@LilDirt12]

I can't see what your doing. Please please remake your video with more light so I can follow along to properly fix my timing. It would be so appreciated. Thanks for trying.

Do nooot unscrew the one directly behind the needle area. It will move the entire needle thing and mess it up. It doesn't need to come off to take off the cover. Also the little screw at the bottom inside one of the round feet. Doesn't need to come out. Also the top that holds part of the thread doesn't need to come out in order to take off the cover. Had to reposition the needle for 10 minutes after messing with it.

Omg!! Thank you for this. I removed the one you are talking about. That explains why my needle bar is about an inch away from where it should be. I could not figure it out. Now, how do I fix? Lol.

[@kasialewarska8875]

Just done the same mistake. This machine is so different from all others I own, and fixing it is a nightmare. After screwing that one on the back now I have a problem with bobbin case jumping out, and can't figure out what just happened, as I have not messed with the bottom of the machine. Simple machine but not so simple at all

Wish there was audio!

Awesome video, you helped me fix my wife’s machine! Great job easy to understand

[@janeofalltrades22]

I have the xm2701.. my timer was off now the bobbin is turning nag all when I seen the hand dial. I'm trying to open mines to fix it.. I removed all the screws but it's still not coming apart. Can you help?

[@morep5466]

May be you could have used a torch light so that the position of needle can be seen properly in this video. Though this is very information. Thanks for sharing.

[@slayedbyrayy3816]

how did you remove the stitch dial panel from the machine?

[@ruciaupchurch516]

Just pull it up

[@Priscalovee]

What would you suggest if the a screw thats on the backside towards the bottom of the top back in that deep set whole wont unscrew?

What screwdriver tip did you use!!

[@stephaniesanchez2057]

Also did you remove a front screw ?

[@stephaniesanchez2057]

Im having trouble removing the screw in the back the one right behind the needle thing any tips?

[@lovelee1772]

Same issue I'm having. We're you able to remove it?

[@ashleybeal2109]

Late to the party but I’m going to leave this here in case it helps someone! I spent a good hour trying to remove it, turns out don’t even have to and it messes with the position of the needle if you fiddle with it too much. You have to remove the screws shown(besides that one) and pop off the knob with the stitch selector. I just used a screwdriver and wedged it under the knob and it comes right off.

@@lovelee1772 yes i tried to take it out and it messed with my needle and now i cant get it right again 😩

[@leslielatalladi7564]

@@ummanas6987 what i did was screw backwards until it moved back but i took me a while.

[@leslielatalladi7564]

Do not touch the screw right behing the preser foot and needle. It controls the position of such

[@ummanas6987]

too late i did it so how camn i fix it now

[@leslielatalladi7564]

@@ummanas6987 turn the screw to the opposite direction until it goes back to place. Dont screw a lot at a time. Screw a few turns then turn the needle wheel to check the progress because i went to far back

[@itgirlsitboys]

What’s the names of the screw drivers u used to disassemble please 😔

[@ruciaupchurch516]

Allen Wrench

[@Shinestyles4U]

Thank you for sharing I almost had it but unfortunately can find a screwdriver that fits to turn that last step 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@ummanas6987]

same , type hex key set online, i got a set on ebay and manage to get the right size as my other allen keys did not fit

[@itgirlsitboys]

Right, I don’t know what scene driver to use for the last step 😔

[@shahja4497]

Wow! This is great! Can you please show how to fix hook timing in Brother JX2517?

[@rachj1398]

Shah J sorry I didn’t see your comment. I don’t have that model tho

[@stephaniesanchez2057]

I was able to remove them besides the one right in the back

No idea what is happening here...

[@artbyedna9210]

There’s no sound!!

[@shearpebbles]

u need audio this is ridiculous

[@robh1908]

I bet you still had bunched stitching. You can't just time one part. There are 3 timing marks on the machine. Then you also have to set the distance between the needle and the hook.

[@rachj1398]

Rob H I did

[@robh1908]

@@rachj1398 Consumer machines make me a good income. You should always buy used industrial sewing machines. I had a Brother CS4000 in today. Don't know how the belt managed to skip a tooth on the gear. But not too much damage. New bobbin case, needle and timing and bent bracket for the spring stop for the bobbin case.
