Question on Featherweight Timing
Hi all, question on timing of a Featherweight. I'm currently waiting on a bobbin case for my Featherweight since it did not come with one. I ordered one today off eBay. It is a vintage case, not a reproduction. While waiting, I decided to check some things on the machine. I suspect the timing maybe off slightly on it. When I bought the machine I discovered that the bobbin case base finger was broken. I think a past owner of the machine forced it when there was a thread jam which caused the bobbin case base to break and threw the machine out of time. There was a piece of thread caught behind the bobbin case base when I received the machine. I watched a couple of videos on how to time the machine. They said that the point of the hook needs to be directly in front of the needle when the lower timing line is just disappearing into the needle bar bushing. It is hard for me to tell because I can't get the feed dog off right now, but it does look like the point of the hook slightly overhangs the needle (not by much). Will this cause the machine to not sew properly or bind up when I put the bobbin case (once I get it) on? I've attached a picture, but the angle is not the best.
Any thoughts?
