I thank GOD to have been able to come across your tutorial on adjusting hook timing on industrial machine...I was stuck with mine for 2 days and searching through UA-cam for help..your tutorial is so clear and I really like it because I can understand every single explanation you were giving. I followed your instruction watching your demonstration and guess what....I did it...my machine is working again perfectly now...and on top of that I've come to know different parts of my machine which I hadn't before. Once again thank you for your tutorial..and GOD BLESS...m subscribing now to learn more from you..🥰
That's awesome. Thanks for the follow and I will be making more videos soon! Thanks for the support!
This is so far the best,easy,concise and straight timing tutorial ever on YT str.I followed your instructions and saved my machine.i was freaking out because I don't know where to take my machine to for a fix.Thanks so much.
This is the best video I've found over the years for adjusting the timing on my machine. Thank you very much.
I totally agree
Best video ever
Thank you very much for sharing
So nice to find an explanation by an expert, not an amateur who stumbled on a fix! This was the only video that clearly explained the gear issue, and how that gear shaft gets adjusted.
This video has saved me several times from driving 100 miles to the repair shop. I can't thank you enough.
Not only a great video on setting your timing correctly, it's one of the best instructional video on all of UA-cam!
Glad it helped and appreciate your comment!
A lifesaving video that helped me fix my machine in the middle of a 4 week COVID-19 quarantine. Thanks so much!
This video is wonderful! I am over the moon that someone has explained it so I can understand. Just being educated on what things are on the machine is so helpful. You ROCK!
Great video! I adjusted my Juki as instructed and still had tension issues - I just couldn't get the tension to be consistent. I video-called Steve and he told me to wrap the thread twice around through the tension disks. It worked! 20 hours and miles of thread wasted trying to do it myself, and a 5-minute phone call solved the problem. I cannot thank you enough, Steve!
So thankful for this vid! I had a mechanic teach me this over the phone once with no video/face talk. I forgot half of what i learned and found this video and it really helped me learn the other half of the solution!!! So grateful for this~!!
Best video I have seen about adjusting the timing on commercial sewing machine. Thanks!
Wow! This guy is FANTASTIC. It takes talent to explain complex matters in straightforward terms. Great explanation and camera work. Well done and thank you very much!!!
Absolutely great clear instruction and the pro-tip about up-sizing needles and the need to check and readjust. Used JUKI DDL-5550-6 machine that I added the double pulleys (12" to 2") to slow this speed Demon production machine down so I can use. Built very well, but as an auto tech for decades, speed reduction equals torque increase. Now it stitch heavy material even 1.3 mm leather for car seats. Larger needles and thread to match, change needles, check & change timing gap. I use folded paper or thicker paper tags to use the gapped by procedure. I will be viewing other videos in your channel, because I get conflicting info on the needles direction. The right needle is needed first, but the bobbin case hook passes thru the under cut spot where the thread is forming a loop, while friction from the material wants to hold it during the up-stroke. The needles groove is on the opposite side to help it pass they the material with out damage. So sizing thread into that groove helps one determine is thread is too big or needle too small. I believe I am on the right path.
Thanks again. As the others on May of 2020 bunker down, I would agree with other positive 194 comments. You the MAN!
Best ever. Very appreciative that you’ve taken the time to get us through this frustrating situation and come out with everything absolutely dialed in! Thank you!!!
Thanks Sara!
Definetly the best video yet. I had already screwed up the timing, so still not sure how to adjust the hook right to left. I have a Juki DU-1181N. At this point I know it’s operator error.😢
Hi Jeanette,
The DU-1181N is similar hook timing as the single needle. Make sure you're using the correct lines on your needle bar (You should have 4 lines on the bar. Top 2 are for DBx1 Needle system, Bottom 2 are for DPx17 or 135x17)
Make sure you're turning your hand wheel towards you when doing the hook timing. When you loosen the screws on the hook you are able to rotate the hook as well as move it closer and further to the needle. There are more than 1 screw to loosen on the hook so make sure you loosen all of them.
DEFINITELY the best video by far on that topic, Just fixed my timing myself for the first time and saved €120, Thanks sooo much.
@luxuryfurniture8228 Glad it could help and thanks for sharing your story.
THIS IS SO FAR THE BEST ON THIS TIMING SO FAR IVE SEEN THANKS
Excellent advice and demo. If you are having trouble deciding if the needle is fully down position watch the needle bar set screw. When it is in full view it's all the way down. I also struggled when I released the set screws on the larger hook housing around the bobbin. If the machine sews at all, adjusting hook timing is a very small adjustment. It was nearly impossible to tighten the screws once I got the adjustment correct and the housing kept slipping. So keep the screws tight enough in the adjustment process to be able to swing the machine up from the oil pan and reach the screws for a final tightening from that eaiser angle. Thank you again! lifesaver.
Good idea. Always pinch the screws
BEST EXPLANATION EVER!!! You not only show what to do, but elaborate on why we are doing it. I have the same model machine, and it took me a dozen tries and an hour and a half, but I did it! I am so glad you explained the "why", because to get the same results, I had to make the 3rd line on the needle bar flush, instead of the first. If you had only shown what to do and not why, I would probably not have figured this out. Many thanks from Trinidad! :-)
Thanks for the comment Karen! Glad it was some help to you!
Bless your heart for mentioning the direction the dip faces when inserting the needle. It’s so crazy for easy it is to forget these things. I was on the verge of tears before and after from being so happy it worked. I thought I had messed up my machine
You have no idea hoe much you’ve helped me.
From feeling defeated to empowered. Thank you!!!
Thank you sooo much, I’ve been battling my hook timing for like 3 hours, watch loads of videos and still doesn’t get but yours was well detailed and much more clear. Thanks so much
This video is wonderful! I am over the moon that someone has explained it so I can understand. Just being educated on what things are on the machine is so helpful. i hope you make more video with more topics.thanks
With qualified sewing machine service nonexistent in most areas this tutorial is a godsend.
The timing messed up on my Juki 8700 machine and after watching this several times I was confident enough to attempt it. The only issue I had was tightening the screws without shifting my adjustments. It took several tries and lots of frustration.
You just educated and made everything so easy to time and fix the commercial sewing machine 🤣
Many, many thanks for this great tutorial. I broke a needle last week on my jack f4, changed it but it wouldn't pick the bobbin thread. Even though my needle bar does not have the 4 lines on the machine you demonstrated, I was able to adjust my hook timing thanks to your fantastic tutorial. Really appreciate it.
Well, well done. I tuned up my 1978 Chandler and it has never sewn better for me. Wish I knew this 20 years ago when I picked it up. Would have saved a lot of problems. Thank you
Thanks so much for your very easy to understand video. I successfully retimed my cylinder head machine yesterday, saving me a lot of money and a long wait, because of being locked down. Cheers
Dude that was AMAZING!!! Working on my wife's Brother DB2 and it explained the issues and process so well. Thanks!
Thanks buddy! Glad it helped!
Very clear instructions... The best sewing machine timing video I have seen so far... 10/10. Keep up the good 👍👍👍👍
Thank you for the very descriptive and thorough timing lesson. Also - thanks for describing the issue between using different size needles.
I believe this video is gonna help me so much. I work with 2 Juki 8700s at my Federal Prison and 1 is out of timing and not sewing. I looked through the manual, but as many who use these know...its not very informative. This video clears everything up for me as I am learning to maintenance my machines on site without the need of clearing repair persons to come inside the fence. Now if I could only get a video explaining how to fix a Juki MB 1377 Button Sewing machine. This machine has been giving me fits and will not sew a button on. The manual is useless as far as explanation.
Thank you again for this great video.
Thank you so very much for this incredibly helpful video. I've just fixed my industrial Brother machine and I'm feeling soooo proud of myself but really it's all thanks to you! Now I can get back to sewing and earning a living ❤
I just bought an ancient “steam punk” long arm machine for my wife. It is huge (14’ x 5’ x 36“ throat).
It is quite old, and needed some adjustment.
Your video provided what I needed to extrapolate how to tune the hook mechanism. This old machine which, prior to, sewed in fits and starts, now purrs like a kitten and I’ve done some 4-hour nonstop quilting without so much as a hiccough.
Thank you for your video; it was seriously helpful. Thank you.
Now make your boss buy you a decent camera that films HD CLOSE UPS! I nearly went blind!
You are my hero today. A repairman never got my industrial to stop skipping and kept saying to use bigger needles. The gap was huge and the hook went way past the center of the needle. Thank you, Thank you. Big kisses
The repair man is poops. I can fix that.
This video helped me get my first industrial machine stitching perfectly. Many thanks!
I forgot to thank ABC, I saw this video and I was so happy to an extent of forgetting to thank you guys, so I'm back to say THANKS THANKS THANKS
This is THE best vidio I have found on the internet! Outstanding, Great job by josh and his team. thank you so so much for this video. Now my wifes juki DDL 8100e is purring like a cat. Clear video with clear understandable audio that really helped me get the timing right on our machine. thanks again!
Thank you soo much, you have no idea how much trouble you saved me!
Sending you love from Quebec Canada!
Thank you so much! I have been looking for a video to explain the timing issue of my Juki 553 machine and this is the best video that I found so far. you have clear explained how the timing should be. thank you very much
THANK YOU!!! If I could like this video more than once, I would. My Singer 20u33 was being a pain, and I was so scared that I would mess it up worse. Only difference between your video and my machine was that I had to take the side arm cover off (the lines on my Singer are in there). I followed the video, and it now works even better than when I bought it 😄 Major kudos to you.
Appreciate your kind words!
Amazing video! Timed my Highlead GC0618-1-SC in 15 minutes for the first time with this, runs like new again now. Many thanks.
Man you rock! Thank you so much, just saved a girl £100 and few days of waiting for a technician
Thank you verry much the best explanation this vedio is verry useful i wish you all the best coz you are the best of what you do bro 🎉❤thank u ones again 🙏❤️
Thank you for this wonderful video and explanation. I was close using my manual, but your video was just what I needed to see to get my machine back working again.
I have seen so many videos on timing.i bet this is the best video on the topic.
8700 reverse setting machine Juki
I agree with u..this is the best hook timing video...
Thank you for this video! Clean and simple instruction and I really appreciate the attention to detail.
You are an excellent teacher! I’ve never had this problem but I think I would be able to do it if I ever needed to! Thank you!
My sewing machine have many problem thread broken,sliping, tacking problem...& after see this video flowing one bye one tricks .now my sewing machine working superb..i am so happy....thank you very much ABC ...
Oh my goodness thank you sooo much for this video! I got to fix my problems without wasting my time waiting for a technician to come!!! Thank you Again!
Thank you sir, I'm watching your teaching video for many times but honestly I have no idea how to do it and I practice doing on my machine I literally understand it. At first I'm just searching how to reset the single needle hook but now when my machine has hook trouble next time I can fix it well with no worried thank you so much sir
I have learned a lot from your videos. I really appreciate it, Joseph.
Wow. Your explanations are so thorough. I appreciate knowing how timing is affected by needle size. Didn't know that before. I'll share your video with my sewing friends.
Hi iam your friend
WOW! What a clear video! I am going to try it out! Thank you SOOOO much for this! You saved my day! I subscribed!!
You absolutely saved my life!!! The explanations were out of this world good!
You are an ANGEL for making this video, I am currently working on a Sun Star 640 BL and it has been crazy trying to find information to get this machine in operable condition. Thank You so much for taking the time to share your knowledge! I think the machine is useable now!
It is used for heavy automotive upholstery so the needle is a 22 but most likely could be a size or so smaller?
Again I thank you, if you have knowledge about the Sun Star 640-BL I would gladly entertain any video you make..
No repair shops here in the Pacific Northwest along the coast..
Email me your contact and I'll send you an Instructions book if available
God Bless you! You saved my day and I saved some money for the rainy days. Thanks for this video, I fixed my machine myself, the problem that I thought would not be solved.
Precise and simple easy to understand instructional video. Rated 5 stars.
Best tutorial ever...tho I had four lines ,I used the last two counting from the top and it work perfectly. Thank you
Thanks for a very good explanation how to adjust this! Worked fine on my old seiko! You're a life-saver!
Hi, I'm a registered in the channel and I really like this world of sewing machines. I'm mechanic for over 10 years, and my dream would one day be to work in your country USA! I have great knowledge in electronic machines etc ... great hug
the clarity that comes with the addition of light or coloring with sharpie would make this one of the most usable videos in this group. a look at some ebay watch video's may illustrate the proof of distinction and contrast in he picture. also use of colored thread will make this even better. good job.
Thank you, This is exactly what my machine needs! Skips, Bunches, and just no fun. Cant wait to adjust it.
Thank you so much! I threw off the timing by breaking a needle while repairing DHs work pants. I had a heart attack, since I have a huge donation of masks in process. After this step by step instruction, my machine is stitching beautifully again. Whew !!!
My machine doesn’t have the needle bar lines, but thankfully that didn’t need adjusting. After some trial and error I was able to get the eye of the needle and the hook to line up.
Great! Will tell the repairer not to come. Av done it. Thanks to your video! God bless. From Kenya.
Hi, thanks for going to the effort of posting this. I have seen a few on the same subject and yours is the best. I adjusted an old Singer machine, maybe 70 -80 years old, and the only difference was the number of limit lines on the needle bar (2, not 4) Very much appreciated
What he fails to mention, that is critical, his setting the bar at the 4th line is for a DA needle. If you are using a DB needle the bar should be set at the second line. REED THE JUKI INSTRUCTION MANUAL MANUAL. If you are using a DBx1 needle, and set it to the fourth line you will find that the needle will come down and hit on top of the bobbin casing. Set in back to 2 and it is perfectly aligned. What's that age old saying? When in doubt READ THE DIRECTIONS.
Very useful. My wife recently bought such a machine, and it is all new for me, but video helped me to fix it.
Thank you, I was able to fix my machine by watching your video. You explained it very well.
Excellent information adjusting the timing. Gives me confidence to make my own adjustments and do it more often.
Thanks
Thank you so much. This did work. I did have to keep tweaking the height of my needle bar until I got it just right. Seems once I put them directly on the lines that wasnt enough for my machine but I knew when the needle started catching that I was close You just saved me a lot of work and money Now I can do this myself. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU...
Excellent information and video, covered all the problems I had with my protex, thank you for your time and effort.
Saved my machine that I thought was toast!! EXCELLENT tutorial!!!!!
you save my life bro.... i appreciate it...
1000000000000000000 times thanks...
It’s the best video from all video’s I see. Thank you so much ❤
Thank you so much guys! Thanks to you I fixed my machine!!!
I know it's a little late but I'm glade you made this video YOU HELP ME FIX MY Machine.
Thanks Joseph great tutorial nicely filmed with great advice !
Thank you so much for this. you are a life saver. you have saved me during this covid crisis I am making face masks for people on the frontline. you guys are awesome :)
I agree with Mary. Even though my machine is different your explanation helped me figure out how to fix my machine. Thx
Thank you. Brilliant and so well explained and filmed.
Thanks to your video I was able to fix my machine at work , after it took me 5 hrs 😅 ... I got frustrated cause I was messing with other parts ... This tutorial was very helpful 👏, thanks ...
Best ever video for hook timing! Thank you so much!
Thanks for the comment Kathie
Best video for timing I appreciate it! Defiantly one of the best videos out there
I would have saved myself a lot of time if I changed the needle like you said!
Excellent teacher.
Thanks, always watched the shorter videos but kept comming up short of the answer. It definetly pays to watch a more proffessional explination where everything is mentioned and nothing is taken for granted.......:)
Omg thank youuuuu …. I paid once to get my machine retimed but this time I did it myself 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks so much I was able to fix my machine with your instructions! 😱❤️🙏
This video was very helpful. The only difficulty I has was using the fourth and third marks on the needle bar. I looked at my Juki manual and for DX needles, I needed to use the second and first marks. After adjusting to that, Its running great. Thanks for the video.
Yes the new video we plan to make will cover the different needle bars and correct needles to use for each bar. The models that come standard with each needle bar and a better quality video.
Amazing video !!! Thanks a million !!
This is a great video. One thing to note is that for DB needles, the needle bar height should be at the second line, not the 4th line, at its lowest point.
This man presents information in a highly accessible way. Very good.
It's a shame they didn't invest a few dollars (litteraly) in a better camera.
Yo you are the ISH!!!!! This was clear and it worked!!!! Thank you so much!
You saved me again! Thank you so much for your tutorial. 🌹Oster-murr canvas appreciates it.
Thank you so much!
Very acurate explanations!
Greetings from France ❤
This the best explanation .. it's my first time to understand how to adjust the sewing machine :)
Thank you so much for this ^_^
Best and clearest tutorial ever. Thank God and thank you! You made my day (possibly my life also). BIG LIKE and SUBSCRIBE.
Thank you, your video is a lighthouse for me as a beginner :-)
excellent. thanks so much for sharing❤
This video is the best video I’ve seen. My hook timing is correct based on this video but the thread is still not catching. It goes around a few times before it actually catches the bobbin thread.
Excellent! I use this method on my Singer U20 -33 and it worked great .
Thank you man! I'm watching this in 2019 and its was so helpful. I was trying to sew denim with an 18 needle. My hand crank would not turn forward or backwards. After watching this video, it works now. Also 1cm of thread was stuck inside the case. 🙄😡
