I'll be dammed! After testing your suggestions and finding this thread and double checking everything it now works perfectly. Sews smooth with nice stitching in both fabric and leather. Thank you all for great patience and support. Much appreciated🙏

I now got the correct needles and adjusted the shuttle as best as I could. It picks up the thread each time I try now without leather or fabric. With fabric it picks up one stich at the most and loses the rest. With leather about 2 mm thick the top thread snaps after two-three stiches. Two-steps forward, one-step backwards....

Here are photos of the shuttle. It looks good from my basic understanding. It goes down and then back up 2 mm as you say. as it comes down again no real loop has been created as the shuttle has moved passed the needle and pressed the thread towards the side not hooking it. I think you can see from my video posted above. Not sure how to get a proper loop to form. I do not manage to get it holding the thread either. It feels as the shuttle is too fast. But if 135x17 needles i am now waiting for are a bit longer than the one i am using now. Just ordinary jeans needle for hobby machines, then the shuttle might pick up the thread as it stays down for longer. My best guess right now.... The shuttle and shuttle base is quite firm and not really loose at all exept from minor movements towards the needle, about 1 mm or so.

Hmm hope it is not that spring. I took an image of it to show you. From your description I think it looks OK. What would you say?

Thanks. I have updated the order to 135x17. I will get back with images/film om the shuttle.

The order is not yet shipped so I can still change it to 135x17 if that is a better fit? They are cheaper than the 332 LL LG

Thanks, i will try this and see if it works. The machine is in mint condition. The previous owner did not get a shuttle with the machine and purchased one for 900 sek (90€). Not sure if it is a high quality one but it looks well made. It fits well and the hook has a sharp point. I'll send over a photo to show as soon as I am back home.

Thanks, is 332 the same as 332 LG? I just ordered some needles of typ 332 LL LG. https://shop.indukta.se/collections/332-lg Hope these are the correct ones. There are 332 LG and 332. Not sure abou the difference between the three. All seem to be 48,5 mm long from the base to the hole.

Ping😇 i have uploaded a youtube link. Much appreciated help🙏

Ohh sorry, here comes a YT link. Is it that simple as that I need a 332 LG needle which i assume is longer so that it stays down in the shuttle for longer? The Machine is in really good shape elsewise

Hi, I am having problems with my newley purchased Adler 30-15. The needle will not pick up the tread. Not even close. I know tension and needle might be wrong, maybe what i causing this. Bobbin tensions feels fine. However the needle seems to be too far ahead of the bobbin shuttle. When it goes down the bobbin shuttle is far back but then the bobbin shuttle moves forward to chatch the thread the needle moves up a bit to go down yet again when the bobbin shuttle hook has moved passed the thread and needle. As the needle has gone up a tad, the hook misses the loop of the thread. Can the timing be adjusted somehow? I saw a video stating that the barron can be adjusted. Is this the way to go? https://youtu.be/xl90CWiumnM?si=qrPnX9p8R2rPP4wO Any help is apprechiated🙏 20250414_151118.mp4
