    Default HELP! Timing is off

    I have a Singer Confidence Quilter 7469q sewing machine. It's been just fine until yesterday, when the timing was suddenly off. I took it apart enough to see that the needle is missing the trough, which means the thread hook isn't picking up the thread. I thought at first it was a tension issue, but that is clearly not the case. DH thinks he can fix it, if I can find a repair manual. He's very capable in most areas, but this is my baby and he's making me nervous. Does anyone know how to adjust the timing on this machine? Thanks!

    I dont know how to fix it but I have the same machine. I've heard you can mess up the timing by running over pins.
    Have you checked Singers site ? or just google repair manual...I've done that for other things.

    Feeling for you - that always happens when I'm in the middle of something important . . .
    Be warned. I am BORED.
    This could be dangerous.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??

    Oh no! I have the same machine, but have NO idea how to fix a timing issue. I hope you can get it fixed soon!
