Awesome. Fixed the wife's Futura since it was doing the same thing. It had 2 setscrews on the worm gear so I was able to adjust the timing easy. Works flawless now

I tried that ..did not work But I'll try again tomorrow It work ... it worked, thank you soooooooo much 🥰

thats the best example i have ever seen nice slow and close up :) thank you

Good for you! This was a common problem with this series of Singer machines.

Thanks for the video! I thought the skipped zig zag stitches (some peaks and lots of straight lines) were due to timing issues, until i changed the jersey needle to a normal one and the stitches became normal! Turned out that i had an entire pack of spent / lemon jersey needles, another pack was fine!

Big mistake taking the timing belt off now can't get it back on. Now to figure out how to get the bolt unscrewed on the base so I can see the gear to the right! I have an older Singer 2502C. At this point it looks like I'm going to have to take to the repair shop. OK update; @lunasails5850 was correct! You don't need to take the timing belt off... I was able to adjust by loosening the set screws on the larger gear to the right and it's working and I got my zigzag stitch back!! Thank you for helping me get there.

Ooooo great!! I had no idea that’s what the issue was with my zig zag machine. Thanks, I can’t wait to try this out.

❤❤🎉🎉 Thank you for making this vido... I was having the exact same problem with my machine but only when using a thicker thread... But by following this its fixed it and now works fine for both! Absolutely amazing help x

Many thanks for this video, I inherited this exact same model and yesterday it just suddenly wouldnt zig zag..found this video and fixed the problem 👏👏👏

Thanks .I have same kind of machine not exact same model .I have same problem .Very nicely explained .

Good job Hubby! Excellent filming too...👑

you made it look so easy! thank you!!

Thanks so much for a very helpful video !

Someone has messed with it and put the belt on one notch out. This video shows how you can rectify this - that's all. Proper timing adjustment is a little more involved (and precise).

Good one! there's no other video showing this issue on this model!

Excellent! How did the belt move into the wrong position in the first place?

Masha Allah very nice explanation,ill solve my problem through this video thank you so much.now i fix this problem. after fixing this ill got tension problem thread is looping under the fabric plz reply for this.

Empisal celebrity 550 I do it but not working when I select zigzag the needle not move left to right it stack

Thanks so much!!!!!!

thank you ma'am

You shouldn’t have to deal with the belt.. there are set screws on the other gear to the right. But nice video. I just got a similar machine and it is all out of wack. Thanks

i have a2662 singer and it looks like the hook is timed right, but when trying to zig zag the needle goes into the fabric and "then" moves in a zig zag direction both ways. the needle shouldn't move side to side while in the fabric. how is it adjusted? or is it also associated with the hook timing?

Hi I’ve a janome I’ve already done zig zag stitch but today it’s not showing top thread all of the bobbin showing

Hello. i have the same mascin, i have loved it for years,i bought it used in Norway. I am winter living in the Canari Island. Now it is acting up. The strait line is so small, no changes to get it bigger. The zig zag is good. I dont speak Spanish, so go shop is diffuicult. Can you help, is it the same to do as this video????. Regards Rigmor😘

My brain cant wrap my head around this but at least a solution exists. Maybe my dad who is more into tech will understand? I cant clearly see where the hook and needle are aupposed to be and i think thats why im confused. I hope i can figure this out and it works!

I have the 6233 past down to me by my mom b4 sge passed away i have these issues so bad

I have a similar one and have same issue.Can i try to adjust the needle bar instead underneath?easier to do.thank you

The needle bar is for adjusting the distance between the hook and the needle. The needle shouod be a no more than millimetre away from the hook , a papers width is ideal . It shoulod not be touching.

How did he knnow which direction to move the belt?

I have a similar machine. Mine is a rare 9210. I'm not sure it is the same mechanically, the bobbin case is the same I have to check how to access the bottom but I have a hard time understanding from this video where the needle should be. But thanks for the video, I can't use my machine much, even the straight stich is pretty ugly so I have nothing to loose and will try to fix it. thanks

This video was really helpful. It gave me the courage to open up my machine and try to fix it. My timing was different, I cleaned up all the mechanisms which were pretty dusty. In order to play with the “mechanism” at the bottom though I had to open much more than the left side so after cleaning them, touching them a little I checked another video on how to fix it from the top, from the needle piece. Well, not sure what did it but I played with a screw, the timing seemed good and closed everything. It was a succès ;) For the first time not only could I do the zig zag but also all the other stitches 😜 Thanks a lot!

Plz give me solution . My singer sewing machine modal 8280 and it wouldn't zigzag how to repair plz suggest me .

Thank you I have the same machine that I paid a lot more then a $1

Hi - My sewing machine only sew all stitches except straight stitch. How do I fix it? thanks

thanks for nice tutorial. Just it is so strange how possible Singer released unit with incorrect timing. Mine machine made in China and it is replica of Janome. However how is possible that reputable sewing machine producer as Singer can have such a flaw. Shame on Singer,

Wrong way to fix the timing. Timing belt could be fixed by loosening two screws on the larger wheel to the right behind the lid then the belt could be moved easily.

What do I do if I can't take off the band ? ;-;

Someone in the comments said that on the second gear , to the right, off camera) youll find a screw to adjust the timing and thats the proper way to adjust the timing without messing with the belt

I'm sorry, but you didn't explain how to adjust the timing...what did you do to the belt that affected it? Confused. I thought timing was a very difficult thing that required special tools to measure mm's etc. Thank you though. Also washing fabric before sewing, plus a new needle designed for that fabric, will usually resolve it.

Unfortunately, this did not help my Singer Samba 5. I only made it worse, I tried to shift against the movement, and the result was the same for the movement. The sewing machine skips on the right stitch of a zigzag.

I have this problem too and can't seem to figure it out :( I've re aligned my hook 50 times already and it looks all good manually rotating it, but the right side of my zig zag is missing everytime I stitch (resulting in a straight stitch)

@@hannahnevaeh6379 I found a solution to the problem. Can be smoothly adjusted by loosening the three black screws on the right toothed shaft. It is located at the bottom right under the cover.

These small screws need to be loosened. Then you can set the shaft to the desired position relative to the needle.

This is for TOP-LOADING BOBBIN MACHINES guys. So take notice. I own a Kenmore front-loader so video ain't for me. Thanks!

This is not at all how the service is performed. BEWARE.
