IM7 Report post Posted November 4, 2016 I regrettably popped out the entire bobbin ensemble. I put it back in as best as I could remember it and was able to sew away for a while. Now, the upper thread keeps getting caught in and under the bobbin. I must have put the three bobbin parts back in incorrectly. Everything else is unchanged and looks okay. What is the name for the piece I am holding in the picture? The one I wish I never took out of the machine.. Can you tell me the correct orientation of this piece, and thus the bobbin basket, while the needle is at its highest position? The needle reaches its highest position on my machine when the handcrank is at exactly 12:00. Where should the crescent on the piece in the picture be at this point? If you could provide a photograph, that would be extremely helpful! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darren Brosowski Report post Posted November 5, 2016 Ok IM7, this is easily fixed. - Turn the handwheel until the needle is at its bottom point. - Put the shuttle driver in with the 1/3rd moon bit alongside the needle - two thirds towards the front (your side of the machine) and one third behind the needle. I sell a manual for this machine with pictures. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IM7 Report post Posted November 9, 2016 By chance, I was able to get sewing again. But this is very helpful for next time. Thank you all! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LK1 Report post Posted December 15, 2020 Is anyone still active here? I’ve tried numerous timing positions, made my needle push longer or shorter on the shaft holder, added more tension on the thread nobs, and yet still I have this weird hooping/looping and loose stitch on the top side(what we see, but the under stitch is as it should be? Someone please help! Sorry about not knowing the correct terms I’m very new to this! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
