Hattie Shorts

I have a picture of this machine, but don't know how to post it....I have oiled and cleaned the machine, but the problem is it will not pick up the bobbin thread so of course it will not sew....I have taken it all apart, tried and tried different things, but it must be a serious timing problem....does anyone know about this machine who could help....thanks

chances are it is not the timing. I had that same problem when I put the needle in backwards. Here is a link to info you might find helpful http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...l-t147275.html some of it is old and may not be the same as when I first posted. If you get through all that and it still doesn't work let me know.
