Red face Another IDIOT moment
Never work on your sewing machines tired. I just got my 301 back from being cleaned/oiled, threaded it up and it stitched one stitch and then wouldn't catch. spent 1 hour re-threading, messing with bobbin and tension. figured it had to be the bobbin hook or timing was off. decided to leave it until morning. checked on you tube for bobbin info or timing, then I noticed that the lady threaded the needle 15-1 from right to left, I did that once and took it out thinking it was the wrong way. boy did I feel stupid, so I did right to left and it worked fine. Thanks Youtube! Now I know I would have gotten the right answer from this board, but I was to tired to get on. ( I would have been on reading post and such) So try the simple things first
