 “Needle bar and bobbin thread movement synchronization”

In sewing machine all the parts has to be synchronized to achieve accuracy in stitch formation. For this
needle and bobbin and hook has to be set at optimum position.

The procedure is as follows:

 With the help of hand, rotate the wheel to rotate the main shaft and do this until the needle bar
is at its lowest position.

 Needle bar has two lines on it. Suppose one line is ‘1’ and 2nd line is ‘2’. Needle bar should be at
‘2’ line in align with the bush of the needle. If these two lines are not aligning then needle bar
height has to be adjusted. In this way needle is adjusted.

 Then in the lower portion, there is a hook assembly/hub. It has two screws on it. With the help
of screw driver, loosen the screws and with the help of hand rotate the wheel until the ‘1’ line
on needle bar is aligning with the bush of the needle. Rotary hook is also called shuttle.

 Bobbin case has two parts. One is static and other is rotating/ moving. It is said to be proper
synchronization when the loop is made and the bobbin thread is inserted in it by the rotary
hook. Thread goes with the needle and due to the groove in the needle, the loop is formed.
When the bobbin thread passes through this loop then interloping is accomplished.

 Then turn the rotary hook on the hook shaft until the hook edge/ point is in line with the center
line of the needle. The distance b/w them must be 0.06-0.17mm. In this position, the screws are
tightening again. Hence in this way needle and bobbin thread and hook are synchronized with
each other.
