Awesome video, I will take another look at the timing and Needle bar height. I have a second machine that I have been using for spare parts I can have a practice with that one. My lotus decals are beautiful and I said it was made in 1935, I meant to say 1933 it’s 90 years old. Great little machine. Thank you so much for your help on this one.
Fantastic video! I just bought a beautiful 1951 Singer 66-18!! I’m so excited to sew on it! It’s been serviced and it looks brand new! And came with a bunch of feet and the manuals. Feeling blessed ❤
Hi Bob, Thanks for this excellent tutorial, but what if the top timing mark doesn’t line up when the needle is at its lowest point? Mine is sort of close, but not quite? How can I adjust that?
Move the timing gauge so it alignswith the mark. It's all relative, and the needle bar will be adjusted for height once the timing is set. The purpose of the upper mark is to get the gauge in position for the actual timing mark (lower mark).
Do you keep your feathers numbered for just such occasions? Your conversation comments reminded me of Foghorn Leghorn cartoon character line.😊😊 Thanks for the memories!🎉. Enjoyed this video!
@@BobFowlerWorkshop My 99 was my mom's 1941which I learned to sew on. i don't think she has any timing issues currently, but want to be prepared if she does.
The top of the eye to the hook is 1/8 too deep on your machine. You should have moved it up a little bit in your movie, so people can see the distance.
Bob you're a hero and a legend.
Amazing video. Thanks for opening our eyes to this beautiful machines.

Yes, it did help! Thanks.
What is the procedure for adjusting the timing on a singer 115?
I don't have a 115, but when I get one, I'll do a video demonstration.

Yes I do!
Vídeo excelente, muito bem explicado e como sempre aqui deixo o meu 👍
How do you make this adjustment on a 201-2? Thanx much!
I have a video for that!

Since 99s are related to the 66s as a 3/4 size machine, are they timed the same way?
Exactly, though they vary in how (or if) they have timing gauges.
