Timing a Longarm Quilt Machine

This tutorial will show you how to time a long arm quilt machine. We are demonstrating on a Tin Lizzie 18, but the concepts that we will display will carry over for most long arm quilt machines.

What a great tutorial! I was wary about timing my machine but was successful with watching this. The explanations, closeups, and how-to are fantastic!! Thank you!

THANK YOU! you have saved my machine AND my marriage. We were able to use your wonderfully clear, informative AND great video angles to fix my King Quilter18 which is also a TinLizzie product after thread jam and needle break locking the hook assembly. Learned more than I wanted to, but my machine works better now than 18 months ago when it arrived. Hope other owners of long arm machines find this useful if they don't own a super expensive professional model and pay for tech support. Thnx again!

Thank you so much!!

Great video! I did exactly how you showed and thought it looked perfect. I then tried sewing on a scrap and it locked up again 🙄 took needle out so I could turn hand wheel. Got the bobbin case out but I have thread in there. The whole bobbin case will not move at all. Any thoughts of what I can do now? Thanks so much for any help/thoughts you can give me!

Also make sure you clean it out good and oil it .

[@kathystreet4933]

How do you set the timing. I get this part but my machine will pickup bobbin and sew back to front, but not side to side snd front to back. So I think timing still off some. Can you help me?

I have done this repeatedly for my machine, but the timing keeps going out. I've had this exact so many times, yet there remains skipped stitches and eventually the timing goes - again and again. Do you happen to have another video addressing the shaft and cam? I've done everything - belts, encoders, wheels, tensions, and still the timing advances to where I can hear and see the burr starting in the needle. I'm 2 blocks and 1 needle now from finishing this quilt and cannot begin to describe the frustration.
