How To Fix Timing Issue On An Adler 67

[rachaelr11]

Hi all,

I am having an issue with my Adler 67-372T, my needle is not picking up my bobbin thread. I have tried the usual re-threading, inspecting the bobbin for loose threads, and changing the needle but nothing has worked. I have had a timing issue with the machine before, but the machine was still under warranty and it was a free fix. Does anyone have any advice on how to adjust (or what I should adjust) on my particular machine in order to make the bobbin pick up my needle thread? I am trying to avoid a hefty repair cost!

Any thoughts or advice would be great!!!

Rachael;

Take this down to the sewing machine thread and you'll get help.

A few things that come to mind are, is the thread coming off the bobbin in the correct direction?

Are you holding the needle thread when attempting to pick up the bobbin thread?

Is the needle in the correct way and not backwards?

I had the same problem on an Adler 67. It was the safety clutch had tripped.

On the those Adlers you hold the hook with your left hand.

Then turn the hand wheel backwards with your right hand.

You will feel and hear a "click" when the clutch resets.

Make sure to do this with the motor off.

And with a clutch motor, make sure it has come to a complete stop

Hope this helps.
