Sewing Machine Troubleshooting - Hook Timing Explained - Singer 306K, 319K, 320K (1960)

If you have problems with your sewing machine missing stitches, not picking up bobbin thread or breaking needles, then one of the issues may be hook timing. I also explain some of the other causes of those issues.

This video covers hook timing, needle bar height and correct needle selection for your sewing machine. Specifically covers the horizontal rotary hook type used in the 306K, 319K and the 320K Singer sewing machines. This 320K dates from 1960.

Common, basic, sewing machine theory is covered.

Setting your sewing machine's hook timing based on its relationship to the needle only, is not an accurate way to time your sewing machine. I show you the correct way.
