How to Set the Timing on an Electric Sewing Machine
The mechanical precision needed for an electric sewing machine to sew a seam is given little thought until the machine begins dropping stitches, or worse, doesn't sew at all. It may be that the hook-needle timing is off and the machine needs to be timed. The sewing machine needle has a small notch on the back called a "scarf." Down inside the machine, under the feed dogs, is a "hook." When the needle comes down to pick up the bobbin thread, it has to synchronize exactly with the hook in order to form a stitch. There are steps you can take to adjust the timing, if that seems to be the issue with your machine.
- Remove the needle plate by sliding off from left to right. Remove the bobbin found in the case beneath. Remove the bobbin case by using a flat head screwdriver to turn the screw on the left clockwise. Just turn it and lift out the bobbin case. Keep parts and screws in the order you removed them. You should now be able to see the hook and how it relates to the movement of the needle.
- Set the machine to do a straight stitch, center needle position. No zig-zag. You also want to install a new 80/12 size sewing machine needle.
- Rotate the hand wheel and watch the needle move to its low point. The point of the hook should meet the inside of the scarf about .5 mm up on the needle. If it does not, and the hook is not picking up the thread, proceed to remove the bottom cover of the machine.
- Look for the lower drive shaft, once the bottom is exposed. This is a long shaft with gears on the left side. Loosen the set screws on the right side and adjust manually by holding the hand wheel securely and turning the drive shaft. Test by turning the hand wheel until you see that the point of the hook enters just behind the needle. Then reset the set screws.
- Reassemble the machine, then sew a test seam to verify that the stitches are locking in the center of the fabric.

02-12-2011- Other Thoughts: I bought this as a gift for my wife. It has excellent, easy-to-use functions, and is a great starter sewing machine. I did not, however, get it from this store - I'll come back in a year and tell you whether it's broken, because that's all you get for a warranty on the parts from Singer, so I went with Sears for service.

03-22-2011- Other Thoughts: I've used this machine several times and have not been disappointed. The instruction book is clear and concise (I love concise) and so far, the machine has performed exactly as promised. Set-up time was minimal and the machine is easier to thread and much "smoother" and less noisy than those I have used in the past. Additionally, the machine comes with an accessory kit that includes everything you need to get started AND extra needles.

03-31-2011- Other Thoughts: I purchased this Multi Function Sewing Machine about 5 months ago and love it. It does whatever I put before it with no issues. I have made lined velvet drapes as well as silk ones that were lined and interlined. It never skips a beat. The machine is heavy unlike many of the new ones.
