Without the thread threaded through what I notice:1. The thread guide is not original as their should be two separate thread guides that mount in the holes just above the thread tensioners.
2. Are you following the Singer Manual for timing? If you don't have the manual you can get one here ( https://www.manualslib.com/manual/364320/Singer-112w139.html#manual )
3. To thread the needle you need to use the thread controller discs closest to you and the thread needs to go throw the hole in the take-up arm closest to you.
4. The spring in the thread controller seems to be at roughly the 7 pm mark and should probably be adjust to the 9 pm position.
5. To do the needle to hook timing slide the cover plate off so you can see the hooks placement in relation to the needle rather then trying to see it from the underside.
A photo of how you are threading from the needle would also be helpful. What system of needles not the size of needle are you are using as this can make a perfectly timed machine to not be able to sew.

I will shoot another video with cover plate off showing the hook timing slowly-

Hi all - we are pulling our hair (and stitches!) out with this machine. We took it to a local shop and paid them, after the 2nd trip we gave up on them. It still sews great for a few stitches, then skips - Im quite technical but the manual is like a 1930s newspaper and im a VERY technical person and need exact in-falterable details - not a bag of ambiguous "instructions"-
Please can someone try help us time this darn machine - how hard can it be! I machine engines at my shop - it CANT be that hard. I swung it up and rotated by hand until I could observe the hook piecing the loop and kept making adjustments- but the top arm that swings up and down seems like its in the wrong place- like its going down at thw qrong time slackening the whole tensioning system and messing the sequence up -
I have started reading this gr8 thread but still too many variables - Ill try work thru that in the next few days and if there is anything you want me to video/upload or take not of and post please please let me know how I can help u help me!
Thanks!

Every time i power on the machine it runs for 2s then stops and waits, it works perfectly after that.. Ive made sure the pedal is a 1/4 inch from the start position but still does it - its seen about 30mins of use since we bought it last yr.. Works gr8 otherwise -
any ideas? Its a juki rm controllable servo - 100 bucks on amazon..

so ur saying the 112sw139 attachments are propreitory? ie no other fittings are compatible? was hoping adding a 1/8 pipe fitting wd be as easy as going on ebay and clicking buy now :/

Hi there - trying to find out what part # or spec I need for our 112w139 singer, my wife is only using the one side as we hardly need the dual feed..
Will the pipe attachment for a 111w fit on one side? Also - what about the chinese stuff? one for $5 online- little easier than 40-50 bucks ive seen.. we do home sewing, nothing large quantity
thanks!

Hi guys - been all over this amazing forum getting info on machines! My wife is crafty and has had an interest to get into upholstery for a while! We dont have alot of $ so its been REAL hard finding something worthwhile in our budget -
picked up this guy yesterday for $350 with table, lamp and everything.. She needs a little tlc but works fine! We will upgrade to a servo motor and possibly a walking foot. Is it true this is the double needle version of the infamous 111?
Anyway - ordered some thread on amazon to get her going. If you see anything missing / out of place let us know - we are both new, and since im a boat mechanic im in the technical service department!Thanks!
singer 112 - still not sewing right after shop "timed" it - twice
