Thanks for the very informative explanation about how the needle picks up the bobbin thread, and what out of time means in relation to a sewing machine’s function. I loved seeing the close up video it epitomises the saying a picture is worth a thousand words. Great article.
Another great article, Cale. Thanks for clearly explaining to us what the term, ‘out of time’ really means. The sewing community often uses that term as an all-encompassing description of a problem when a sewing machine is not working properly. Now we know what it really means. Thanks again.

Helpful- thanks
Are you going to do a review of 2024 sewing machines? The one you did for 2023 was great. Please say YES!
YES!
Hi Cale, I believe you made a misstatement in your article. You wrote:
"What does it look like for the needle-hook timing to be off?
If the needle fails to catch the thread loop from the needle eye, a stitch will not get made— AKA skipped stitches."
Did you mean to say, If the HOOK fails to catch ...
The further down:
"Remember, we want the needle to pass just above the eye of the needle after the needle has risen 2-3 millimeters above its bottommost position."
Did you mean to say, Remember we want the HOOK to pass just above ...
I love your blog and all the work you put into it!
Thank you, Cale, for these lessons! Very informative and interesting.
