Thank all of you for your replies. I have one other question to bring to the table. After having the timing set twice, it appears the machine becomes, somehow out of sync when I get it back and try it out. I am using  size 92 bonded nylon and sews for a very limited distance and then I am right back to where I started all over. Never had this problem with my 111W155.

That should not happen. Perhaps the set screw on the needle bar is slipping. That would throw off the timing in a few minutes, or less. Also, someone may have dinked with the timing gears and left the set screws loose under the machine. I also bought a 111w156 from an upholstery shop and it stays in time and sews with #92 thread all the time.

Hint: you can set the reverse to match the forward stitches at up to 5/inch. If you want longer forward stitches, the reverse will be smaller and hit between the forward stitches. That is how it was made. ;-( When sewing cloth upholstery material this is not a big deal. Mine was originally set for 4 to the inch forward. I adjusted it to 5/inch to get the reverse into the same holes.

It´s not because it is a different different machine. Any machine can have problems like yours. Maybe check the set screws on your hook drive gears and the screws the hook saddle is attached with. Even better check all the set screws. It´s hard to make a diagnose when not sitting in front of your machine or seeing pictures or maybe a video. Don made a good point - the needle hook distance is often overseen.

Generally - If you can´t solve your problems better check with a sewing machine dealer - maybe  a different than before.
