Thank you so much for bringing so much expertise to us. Learning the processes from the video will take multiple viewings but they will be well worth the time. My daughter just brought a 301 to me for cleaning and oiling. Guess I will do some deeper inspection if that doesn't make the machine work well for her. Again, THANK YOU!

One word of caution - do not do the timing unless you have to or can be sure you can get it right - if you mess up, I've seen $85 for a shop to do it - it should be your last resort

With 7 machines now, I have to check the manual every time I switch to a different machine, just to be sure.

I added this to the VSMS Virtual Forum so everyone there can read it. Good information and I know it will help quite a few of us!

Thank you. Seems like we are trouble shooting about once a week.

let me try this again - I wrote a tutorial for trouble shooting skipped stitches. It could also be thread - try changing it.
Let's see if this is the tutorial...
