TIMING OVERVIEW Timing refers to the synchronization of the rotary 1 hook and the needle. Proper timing is essential for embroidery quality and to prevent issues. If the space between the needle and the hook point (1) is out of range, the thread will not catch, causing thread breaks. If it is too close, it will cause broken needles. • The machines timing degree is 195 degrees. The space between the needle and the hook should be 0.1 to 0.3 mm. BOBBIN TENSION If you suspect that the bobbin is not rotating smoothly in the embroidery machine, try the following. 1. Place the bobbin case with the bobbin face down, flat on a flat surface. 2. Pull a few inches of the thread out. - If the bobbin is not spinning freely, the odds are that it is not spinning freely in the embroidery machine either. 3. Retest the case with another bobbin.

The machines timing degree is 195 degrees. The
space between the needle and the hook should be
0.1 to 0.3 mm.
BOBBIN TENSION

in the embroidery machine, try the following.
1.
Place the bobbin case with the bobbin face down,
flat on a flat surface.
2.
Pull a few inches of the thread out.
- If the bobbin is not spinning freely, the odds are
that it is not spinning freely in the embroidery
machine either.
