Thank you so much! I was gifted a singer heavy duty machine before I went off to college by my bosses after I left the store and I just got this problem this past weekend. I spent the entire day trying to figure out what to do and how to fix it because I have an action program project due this Thursday and if I don’t finish it then I won’t be able to take it home with me. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR THIS INSTRUCTIVE AND INFORMATIVE VIDEO!! You just might’ve saved me some time and money from repairs and the chance at me getting to keep my project! 😊
I bought a singer 4423 myself and threw the timing off a few days back. Going to get it fixed isn’t an answer now with so many shops closed for Covid19. His note about holding down the middle was what helped me fix my machine. After An embarrassing amount of time figuring that out, my machine is back up and running. This was really helpful.
Thank you so much for sharing your skill. I was puzzled why all of a sudden the lower thread wasn't being picked up. Two minutes to adjust and my machine works fine again. Blessings and light ✨️🙏🌟🙏✨️
I called singer today about my machine, after a 45 min wait on phone, with the explaining my issue they tell me it’s the timing it’s only two weeks old! This absolutely was so much more helpful and it worked!, Thank you very much! You know your stuff!! Great customer e!
Thank you very much for sharing your talent. It took me almost the whole day trying to figure out what is wrong with my Singer sawing machine. GOD BLESS YOU. 😊
I’ve found a new channel! I’ve gone crazy after sewing on my 3 different $7500 production fur and leather machines I came into possession of a “Free!” Singer 717. This machine DOES NOT serve breakfast in bed like the others! Getting the bobbin wound correctly, the gears oiled and the timing adjusted I’m finally sewing glove leather for presents on Christmas DAY! (It’s a good thing we’re having our family gift exchange TOMORROW! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video! I just fixed my 6215C with your help and now it sews perfectly again. I don't have a technician here where I live, so I'm very grateful!!
Aloha from Naalehu in Hawaii! You, kind sir know what ur talking about! Thank you times a million; exact, precise, clear & understandable 👍kudos 2 u!! Keep up the great info & vids....I luv people who luv 2 share.. ✌ Linda
Thank you so much ....I need to adjust the timing on a 1950s Elna Supermatic and I know that your clear instructions will go a long way towards doing this!!!!👍👍👍👍 greetings from Kenya, East Africa
the zigzag tip was VERY helpful, along with the needle tip distance one. I'm working on my cheap plastic sewing machine and here's hoping I can save it! Thank you for your helpful video!
Thank you for this! My machine wasn't sewing the special stitches, but did straight so I just lived with it. Then those stopped too. After 5 different videos and none worked, i found this one. You explained what to do, why to do it and my machine is no longer ready for the scrap pile!!
Awesome video! I was able to fix my wife's Singer embroidery machine timing based on yourinstructions instead of taking in to have it fixed. Saved me some money and now the machine works like brand new! Thanks for posting this video!
This video is an awesome view, of what is under the Bobbin Case and the movement of the Hook to Needle Relationship. My husband used this lesson to fix my sewing machine last December as I hurried to finish some Christmas gifts. I bought my old beast because it is mostly mechanical, and most of this problems can be fixed at home. This year as I hurry to begin some christmas gifts, I broke my beast again. Now it's my turn to fix the timing. We bought the Singer Futura 900 Service Manual Copyright 1974 and are putting it to use with this lesson. *Best practice Set the machine to Straight Stitch Stitch Width dial set to Zero Needle size 18 which I don't have. Needle position selector on the RIGHT instead of the left. Round hole needle plate, which I also do not have. I'm going to pick up a Size 18 Needle tomorrow and wing it on the rest. You didn't let my hubby down so that is the best endorsement of this Lesson.
Thank God that I still have the owners manual... As it turns out Size 18 Needle is Style 2020!!!!!!!!!!! It is an all purpose needle and I've got that. Yeah!
My friend's Singer was skipping stitches & bobbin thread was loose between each stitch. Many thanks for this helpful video on fixing the timing & now, all stitches are there. Regarding the bobbin thread being too loose goes, the solution was to adjust a tiny screw located on the bobbin with a single clockwise turn to tighten its tension. Cheers!
Thank you for this video! Very well done. I got my machine repaired right before the pandemic after 10 years of use. After 1 year of sewing masks, the timing fell out of alignment again! (Just goes to show how much it is being used.) But the sewing machine repair shops are all busy, with 30 day backlogs right now. This video helped me get my machine back up and running properly again!
Thank you so much for posting this. The detail about the height of the eye in relation to the hook, and the specifics of how to set the timing on a zig-zag machine on the leftmost position, made all the difference and solved a problem I'd almost given up on. Well done!
Long ago someone showed me how to do this but i had forgotten, thanks s bunch! I have about 5 machines that i can use again! Hooray! You're a life saver!
Thank you a million times!! You were so clear at explaining, and I was able to fix my machine, in time to finish two Christmas quilts! I cannot thank you enough. P.S. your voice and inflections are like listening to one of our caring, patient priests! Lol.
Thanks so much for this video! It was super helpful and even though my machine is very different from this one I was able to understand exactly where my needle and hook should be to have the best timing.
Thank you very much !!! We sew respirators. The machine broke and I had to disassemble the entire lower mechanics. I couldn't have done it without your advice.
You may have just saved what's left of my sanity. Thank you! Singer CG590 not built the same but the principle you explained was enough to make it work.
This was very informative. I don't have the same type of machine but the tip of having it to the needle to the left was the best. My machine was sewing straight just fine but the left was out of alignment. I was able to find a video for a machine similar to mine. But using your tip made the difference. Thank you.
Thanks for the video. I took it apart to fix something and broke a Needle when i put it back together. Figured the timing was off somehow and found your video. All good now as wife is happy I fixed it.
Very good explanation. I have a different model Singer but because you share your fundamental understanding of how it works, hook catching thread as it gains slack on the upswing, I know I will be able to set mine properly. Thanks.
Appreciate your attention to detail and repetitive instruction - it is extremely helpful. We disassembled Singer 4423 to cleanout all the crud, but mistakenly loosened the triple screws holding the carrier unit of bobbin/feed dogs thus disrupting the timing. I was able to adjust the feed dogs manually and then reset the gearing to get the hook to grab the thread eye/needle at just the right time!! As a bit of a gear head for old classic cars, I was not going to get beat by a different kind of machine - your video and explanation helped a TON. after all - if I can set timing on a 68' GTO, I can do it on a sewing machine right? thank you again - I am now a subscriber!
Thank you so very much your video will help me get my Singer 4411 working correctly, and I hopefully I can get my older Necchi 575FA timed correctly as well. I believe the theory of operation should be the same even though the two machines are different.
Come on people commenting, this video sux it didn't show anything other then repeatedly saying needle must be on left position. The most the video did was get people to wonder if they could fix their own sewing machine and some were able to probably by trail and error. So stop giving this video credit you did it yourself the video DIDN'T show anything not even what he had to loosen underneath. Was it a screw, nut.or bolt? So stop giving this video credit if you fixed your machine you did it yourself and you all deserve the credit for doing it. Good Job to those who figured out how to fix your own machine.
This was an awesome lesson. Thank you! We downloaded the repair manual for my sewing machine, but it is pretty hard to understand. Hubby did manage to adjust the Feed Dogs "transport". All the different systems that are inside it! Geez! Seeing how the hook is supposed to work help makes all the difference. I'm hoping that my machine doesn't also need the Needle Height adjusted. Taking the Head Cover and Control Panel off is extremely difficult. They are interlocked!!!! Nothing simple in this 1974 circa machine. Dang!
Thanks for this video, i recently got trouble on Jaguar kc-300 the plastic helical gear on the gear meshing to that of the shuttle hook came off causing me to remove that part from shaft and repress that plastic back to its gear again now im having slight timing issues and thinkin of re timing it. This singer got the exact same mechanism principle and got now an idea to easily retiming it again nxtym i got slight runningstitch skips and horrible zigzag issues, one NOTE of advice as well when retiming make sure to have a new straight needle. I suspect that caused me lose timing again after switching to new needle as well. Thanks!
thank you so much, you were the best!! You saved me 120.00 on service. I was able to fix the timing on my bobbin. Excellent instructional video. The specific position of the needle on the hook was the best tip for me. n
Thank you so much for the clear instructions! My sewing machine sews in straight stich just fine and picks up thread but won't sew in zig zag stich. Please, Is it a timing issue ?
Hi thank you ur so easy to understand God bless u for sharing! My machines is was working its new only a 2monthes old but i change the needle and now when i trun it on it making a sound i hope u can help me its a brother TY600
Yes, for us dummies, pointing out the gear, and explaining what type tool will need to loosen and tighten the gear. The rest of the video was so well done. You explained, showed and repeated the instructions. But the timing can't be done if we can't find the correct gear, and loosen it and tighten it.
Good morning. I have a singer 740 and I have just tried adjusting the timing. But if I move the nut at the bottom of the machine, everything moves... I don't know if you know what I mean... When I sew the needle touches the bottom part, bends and breaks. So I am sure it's the timing. But how do I fix that?
I have a Singer 219 W.y grandmother's machine. Three maid differences no electronics, no plastic parts and the bobbin holder is vertice not horizontal like this video. So, does the same paradigm of needle hook location remain the same?
If you loosen the screws of the gear underneath your machine, you can go back to the top, underneath the bobbin, and slide the hook clockwise or counterclockwise with your fingers. He explains where it should line up :)
I understand what you said about lining up the needle with the hook, but what do you do to get it that way? I didn’t see you adjust a screw or anything.
Somewhere beneath the bobbin carrier there's a pair of beveled gears (bevel gears engage at an angle, to transmit power around a 90 degree corner); one (vertical axis) is attached to the bobbin carrier, and the other (horizontal axis) is attached to a driveshaft which runs from a support at the right-hand end of the machine to a support on the left of the bobbin. You want to loosen the setscrew(s) in this gear so that you can turn the bobbin carrier into position without turning everything connected to it through the gears. This gear will just spin harmlessly on the driveshaft. It's probably possible for this gear to slide along the shaft as well as rotate; you want to be sure that doesn't happen, or the teeth won't engage properly with the mating gear. There should be no visible free play between the gears when you're done.
@@markmarkw1919 thank you for this explanation. I too was wondering what screw I was to turn to adjust the hook position. I feel sure with your added information hubby can fix this if ever needed. He is blessed with great mechanical abilities. So nice of you to provide an answer for those of us who lack basic knowledge. Otherwise this was a very good and helpful video.
I have a 750 touch n sew. My needle is being pushed to the left by the hook. Per research on youtube my timing mark is off on my needle bar. Im hoping moving the bar back up to match mark will resolve my issue. Any thoughts or video would be appreciated?
Hi wonderful Mr Fixer. I have a Singer Serenade 30 and it sews beautifully. The problem comes when I want to auto wind a bobbin. I follow instructions and it actually winds a little ball of thread UNDER the bobbin!!! Can u help me please? I'm desperate to sew scrubs for hospitals as they are running out!
Hi, I have stripped out a singer 7470 as we have the same issue. I just cannot work out how to loosen the shaft to adjust it? It seems to be just pressed in?
Happy new year friend, first of all I want to thank you for your patience and generosity with these good videos. My machine is a model 401A singer, the guide marks for the height of the needle bar are down and I don't know what I should align them with. I tried measuring the height between the needle and the flat iron from 13.5 to 16 increasing 0.5 mm each time I tried to put it in time with each new height without success :'( before, the machine entangled the thread below the fabric, now it wont even grab it, I have a lot of sewing pending and I have no money for a technician, help!
Does that timing also time the zigzag point? Because my electronic power control machine is in the middle of zigging after the needle is in the material causing every zigzag pattern to come out the same, without clear patterns. It's pushing the material in both directions and instead of a clear zigzag it's a very straight stitch with very little zigzagging. It's happening on all settings of zigzag. Thanks if you're still around!
Hello very good video, I have a SINGER CE-250 that is displaying the code 88 at the time of turning it on with the embroidery base, I can do normal sew but does fails as soon as I try to do embroidering, I already did the flossing action with the tread and cleaned the top tread "sensor" and changed the lower bobin for a new pre-filled one, could you please help me ?
Great work, I am having singer stylist 7258, facing the E5 error showing, even after the first stitching itself, and machine stopped working & showing E5 error. But my Bobby winding has working. Kindly help to short out the issue
This was very helpful and I was able to fix the timing! However, now the lower tension is messed up and there is a slight grinding/scraping sound when I tried it on test fabric. Not sure how because I never touched that. Could this be a timing issue too?
Great video but we have a problem that when you try to sew it stalls after 1/2 to 1 stitch and starts beeping with all the lights flashing. We have a Singer Confidence 7363. The mechanism moves fine with hand wheel. Some resistance but not a lot. Not sure how much it is supposed to have.
I found an easier way where you don't have to take apart the machine. Open the spot where the bottom bobbin is fed. Take bobbin ans plastic piece thst sits inside of thst area. Then hold the mechanism thst spins ans twist the up down knob. I did it and it worked better then taking apart the damn machine
Thank you so much! I was gifted a singer heavy duty machine before I went off to college by my bosses after I left the store and I just got this problem this past weekend.

Tori C. Yup same problem! Hope you and your love ones stay well. Making mask but now feel helpless.
Did you have to open up the bottom of the machine? (Where the feet are) what’s the middle? I’m so confused
YOU ROCK!! Thank you for talking to me today and recommending your video. I can’t believe I fixed this Juki myself. 🎉.
Thank you so much for sharing your skill.
I was puzzled why all of a sudden the lower thread wasn't being picked up. Two minutes to adjust and my machine works fine again.

Perfect!
My need hit the bottom plate.can you help I have atouch an sew machine
I have the same problem, how can the timing be out on a new machine?
@@jenniferchadwick1957 they do that, that is why they sell you warranty because they know it's not gonna last and that is how they make their money.

Trust me!!! It is better if you can do it yourself instead of getting charged 80 USD for something this simple to fix.
I am here because I don't have $100 to spend on a $25 mini sewing machine I bought online
I never knew exactly what timing was. Great video!!!!!

LOve it, the Left setting was the KEY for me. Many thanks.
My singer also has this problem. The video was very helpful. Thank you!
Your video was "spot on" , except I had the most trouble removing the plastic cover to get to the hook assembly. The fix from there was easy.
great
Perfect! Set the timing on a Singer 6136 using your video. Thanks!
this is the best, clearest video on timing, thank you!!
Glad you think so! im happy for you.
I watched the whole thing and took notes. This was a great class!
What did you do to fix it. He did not show us.
Thanks for the video. I just fixed my wife's sewing machine. Great video.

This was an awesome lesson. Thank you! We downloaded the repair manual for my sewing machine,
but it is pretty hard to understand. Hubby did manage to adjust the Feed Dogs "transport".
All the different systems that are inside it! Geez!
Seeing how the hook is supposed to work help makes all the difference. I'm hoping that my machine
doesn't also need the Needle Height adjusted. Taking the Head Cover and Control Panel off is
extremely difficult. They are interlocked!!!! Nothing simple in this 1974 circa machine. Dang!
Momzilla I’m just hoping my computerized sewing machine never needs the timing adjusted I dread the day happy sewing 🧵
This was just the video I needed very helpful!!
I was able to repair a 1954 singer 306K with the help of your tutorial!!! very pleased
Thanks so much for sharing. I have taken my machine in for timing 4 times but it has just gone from skipping a bit to needing a new machine.
Best timing video ever. Thank you so much.

Excellent advice. Thank you so much.
Most important question- But what did you tighten, which screw? I have Brother XR-9000
Thank you I was able to fix the timing in sewing machine.
Thank you so much for the clear instructions!
My sewing machine sews in straight stich just fine and picks up thread but won't sew in zig zag stich. Please, Is it a timing issue ?
Thanks! I will be checking on my machines.
glad it helps
Hi thank you ur so easy to understand God bless u for sharing! My machines is was working its new only a 2monthes old but i change the needle and now when i trun it on it making a sound i hope u can help me its a brother TY600
Thank you best video explanation
I need to see the gear underneath the machine that I use to loosen or tighten to get the timing fixed.
Yes, for us dummies, pointing out the gear, and explaining what type tool will need to loosen and tighten the gear. The rest of the video was so well done. You explained, showed and repeated the instructions. But the timing can't be done if we can't find the correct gear, and loosen it and tighten it.

When I sew the needle touches the bottom part, bends and breaks. So I am sure it's the timing. But how do I fix that?
Needle bat to low. ! Should be about 1/8 from the base of the hook
I have a Singer 219 W.y grandmother's machine. Three maid differences no electronics, no plastic parts and the bobbin holder is vertice not horizontal like this video. So, does the same paradigm of needle hook location remain the same?
Helpful video. Thanq.
But how did you do that? You didn’t show actually adjusting the timing...
I didn't see anything either. He just told us what to do. What do we turn?
If you loosen the screws of the gear underneath your machine, you can go back to the top, underneath the bobbin, and slide the hook clockwise or counterclockwise with your fingers. He explains where it should line up :)
I know ,right!!! Really didn't did me any good.just like a man
@@lenacarlton5108 look for Kevin sews video on singer heavy duty. He has a very detailed one
I understand what you said about lining up the needle with the hook, but what do you do to get it that way? I didn’t see you adjust a screw or anything.

You must bend the machine over and look for the crews underneath.!
Somewhere beneath the bobbin carrier there's a pair of beveled gears (bevel gears engage at an angle, to transmit power around a 90 degree corner); one (vertical axis) is attached to the bobbin carrier, and the other (horizontal axis) is attached to a driveshaft which runs from a support at the right-hand end of the machine to a support on the left of the bobbin. You want to loosen the setscrew(s) in this gear so that you can turn the bobbin carrier into position without turning everything connected to it through the gears. This gear will just spin harmlessly on the driveshaft.
It's probably possible for this gear to slide along the shaft as well as rotate; you want to be sure that doesn't happen, or the teeth won't engage properly with the mating gear. There should be no visible free play between the gears when you're done.
@@markmarkw1919 thank you for this explanation. I too was wondering what screw I was to turn to adjust the hook position. I feel sure with your added information hubby can fix this if ever needed. He is blessed with great mechanical abilities. So nice of you to provide an answer for those of us who lack basic knowledge. Otherwise this was a very good and helpful video.
I have a 750 touch n sew. My needle is being pushed to the left by the hook. Per research on youtube my timing mark is off on my needle bar. Im hoping moving the bar back up to match mark will resolve my issue. Any thoughts or video would be appreciated?
Hi wonderful Mr Fixer. I have a Singer Serenade 30 and it sews beautifully. The problem comes when I want to auto wind a bobbin. I follow instructions and it actually winds a little ball of thread UNDER the bobbin!!! Can u help me please? I'm desperate to sew scrubs for hospitals as they are running out!
great
Are parts available for this machine? I need a spring and link which sit below the bobbin. Please help...
Hi, I have stripped out a singer 7470 as we have the same issue. I just cannot work out how to loosen the shaft to adjust it? It seems to be just pressed in?
Would this fix help a top thread constantly breaking?
Happy new year friend, first of all I want to thank you for your patience and generosity with these good videos. My machine is a model 401A singer, the guide marks for the height of the needle bar are down and I don't know what I should align them with. I tried measuring the height between the needle and the flat iron from 13.5 to 16 increasing 0.5 mm each time I tried to put it in time with each new height without success :'( before, the machine entangled the thread below the fabric, now it wont even grab it, I have a lot of sewing pending and I have no money for a technician, help!
great,
You need to check out Andy Tube YT vids. He has a complete series on the 401 and 403 machines. He demos how to set the needle bar height.
Does that timing also time the zigzag point? Because my electronic power control machine is in the middle of zigging after the needle is in the material causing every zigzag pattern to come out the same, without clear patterns. It's pushing the material in both directions and instead of a clear zigzag it's a very straight stitch with very little zigzagging. It's happening on all settings of zigzag. Thanks if you're still around!
The hook seems to be fine.
Hello very good video, I have a SINGER CE-250 that is displaying the code 88 at the time of turning it on with the embroidery base, I can do normal sew but does fails as soon as I try to do embroidering, I already did the flossing action with the tread and cleaned the top tread "sensor" and changed the lower bobin for a new pre-filled one, could you please help me ?
Great work, I am having singer stylist 7258, facing the E5 error showing, even after the first stitching itself, and machine stopped working & showing E5 error. But my Bobby winding has working. Kindly help to short out the issue
I have a Singer 338. I am unable to see the hook to be able to align it with the needle eye. Can you give me an advice or maybe show a video.
Would have been really helpful if you had showed which screw you loosed to adjust this.
for next sorry.
I wish you were around to bring my sewing machine to get it fixed
Where do I adjust it for the timing? You only showed the position of my needle to the hook, but not where I need to adjust it. 😢
yes you didn't show under neath which part did you tighten OR loosen?
i make a new video
Thanks for sharing it was super helpful!
great
This was very helpful and I was able to fix the timing! However, now the lower tension is messed up and there is a slight grinding/scraping sound when I tried it on test fabric. Not sure how because I never touched that. Could this be a timing issue too?
Glad it helped!
Great video but we have a problem that when you try to sew it stalls after 1/2 to 1 stitch and starts beeping with all the lights flashing. We have a Singer Confidence 7363. The mechanism moves fine with hand wheel. Some resistance but not a lot. Not sure how much it is supposed to have.
Thanks for a really helpful video.
great
I found an easier way where you don't have to take apart the machine. Open the spot where the bottom bobbin is fed. Take bobbin ans plastic piece thst sits inside of thst area. Then hold the mechanism thst spins ans twist the up down knob. I did it and it worked better then taking apart the damn machine
