How to adjust sewing machine hook timing

In this video you will learn How to adjust sewing machine hook timing. More information about sewing machine hook timing and how to fiv your sewing machine you find on my website.
The position of the hook tip (timing) in relation to the sewing needle (sewing machine hook timing) is the most important parameter of the quality work of the sewing machine.
The hook tip should be sharp enough, without chipping, otherwise the thread will constantly tear at your sewing machine.
It is necessary to regulate the approach of the hook tip at the moment when the sewing needle, having reached its lowest position, rises upward by 1, 8 mm.
The distance between the hook tip and the upper edge of the needle eye should be within 1 - 2 mm, depending on the type of fabric.

I have been having issues with my Bernette 440 breaking top thread and giving all kinds of problems. I tore down the bottom end and there were decades of old thread jammed up behind it. I cleaned it all out but couldn't figure out the timing for the life of me.

Your video gave me the info I needed and I've got the machine running better than it has since I got it!

Thank you!

First, use a new, undamaged needle before setting the hook position.
Second, in this type of full-rotary hook, the hook timing will be set at 2.0mm, 2.2mm or 2.5mm needle rise, depending on the brand and maximum stitch width. Adjust with the needle in the center needle position (center of needle plate).
Third, the distance between the hook point and the needle should be about .1mm; very close, but not touching. (1 to 2 mm is WAAAY too far)
Fourth, the groove in the needle is called the scarf, not scarp.
Fifth, when setting the needle bar height, first set the hook timing then turn until the hook point is directly behind the center of the needle and adjust the needle bar height so that the hook point is approximately 1.0 mm above the eye of the needle.

Hello, I watched your videos on how sewing machines work. Thank you for these excellent videos and the clarity of your explanations on your website. They allowed me to settle mine, this grandmother (an old Brother) has found a new youth! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

I been looking vedio for hook timing and I found it a clear explanation, thank you very much.

Thank you! The excellent photo angles show precisely where the needle eye and the hook should line up are very helpful.

How about showing the end result of what it should be when all is done?

Im having problems with my machine
The top thread wont pull through an stich im assuming this is my problem

[idrdhan]

my hook is too far from my needle any idea how to adjust that ?

[jimjakosh]

How come that hook was not going around when the needle went up and down? How is the hook adjusted for a Bernette 50 Machine? I see how it is done on a Bernina by loosening the screw on the cross shaft but I cannot get at the cross shaft on the Bernette because the top cover does not come off like a Bernina.

So funny ... she moving that screw driver around like she is blind ! Never give a woman a screw driver to take charge ! 😅

[stevenhatfield]

Well this gets me nowhere. Whish they'd show what was correct and final set up.

Robot voice is super annoying. Use a human voice.
2:23 - SCARF, not SCARP. Needles have a SCARF or scooped out section just above the eye but BEHIND ON BACK OF NEEDLE. Front groove is called a GROOVE. No such thing as a SCARP.
Clean off that gunk from your machine, it is gross. This is old oil and grease. Clean and relube.
Don't use wrong size screwdrivers on screw heads, you will strip them.

You explained nothing. Very bad video. Learn before you teach.
