Thanks,
I used to know how to do it on this older machine, but had a stroke and don't remember now. Hopefully I can find out.
It was setting the needle stroke to the run time. It was to the part where the bobbin rests is where you set it.

Thank you so very much. It does show clearly how to set the time on several types of machines. The one I needed was there.
It is fairly simple after you see it one time.
Thank you so much again.

Sorry, but I doubt that you will find a tutorial on timing.

I disagree....depends on how badly you want to get something fixed yourself. Try, try again until you get it.

I set the timing on my Featherweight. Just kept adjusting and sewing, until it made the correct stitch. etc.
