update. moved the shuttle over and retimed. needle wasnt hitting anymore but bottom stitch was still loose/birdsnest. long story short. iooked at the bobbin and it looked like the left screw would actually effect tension. not the right screw as the manual tels you. so i adjusted the other screw on bobbin. the left one. that was it all along i think. it works perfect now. is the manual incorrect??? this is a consew 227 no reverse. thanks for alk the help.

Thank you so much for the help! I will be taking apart the shuttle hook ect (deep breathe) to get the needle in correct position. Just downloaded consew parts manual. Going to pick a day without my two year grabbing at tiny screws

thanksvfor the reply. the needle is brand new. gonna try moving the hook saddle

i just checked. on upward motion the hook makes contact with the scarf right around that 1.6 mark. is the needle supposed to make contact with the hook and that deflector below the hook like that??

hrre is a pic of needle hitting basket

sorry. pics are too big. when i get home i will resize on computer and post them.

Thank you so much for your replies and help. I want this machine to stitch perfectly, even if i have to repkace it piece by piece! Heres a pic. The needle just barely bends and hits casing. The needle bar?/holder looks a bit banged up too. Maybe i should replace thus before messing with timing.

the needle appears to just nick the hook then as it lowers some more it hits the bobbin case and you can see the needle bend a bit. i have pics and video but not sure how to post vid. i have to resize pic first as well. thanks for the response.

I have acquired a used consew 227. The problem is bottom thread has always been loose/looping. I have tried adjusting the tension on bobbin/taking out bobbin and removing debris ect. Upon removing many parts i do notice the needle is hitting the bobin case on its way down. Pretty sure this is not a good thing. Please help
