Therefore it is not forming stitches. I was sewing a quilt when it stopped forming stitches. I have replaced the needle with a new one. I know I had set everything down for a while when I was had the quilt in my quilters ring that I hand sew with. I came back in the room a little later and another individual had the ring in the sewing machine trying to sew with it still in the ring and I stopped them because the screw that is for changing needles was hitting the ring and chipping the ring itself. I need to get this fixed any ideas.

You might have to look at loosening the set screws for the gear on the lower shaft that drives the hook driver gear . Loosen the screws, slide the gears apart, then adjust the hook so it is entering the scarf of the needle on the upstroke. Slide the gears togeather so they mesh again and it should be back in time. There are other factors though such as needle height adjustment which is done with the needle bar and hook and needle clearance (the distance between the needle and hook) which should be about .030. I'm a Bernina tech but many machines work the same principle. Good luck.

There is a set screw above the needle pin screw which tightens with an allen wrench--try that.

You may have the bobbin case in wrong. I have this machine, and I know that it is really easy to put the bobbin case in wrong. Try taking it out and making sure that the little stop is in the front and it is seated down in there and able to wiggle back and forth. My experience with this machine, until the other day when my cat knocked mine off the table and knocked something out of alignment, is that it just works. Any time mine hasn't worked, it has either been dirty, needing oil, threaded wrong or the bobbin case wasn't seated right. In other words, it has always been my fault.

Make sure you are threading the machine correctly and it has the proper tension. Also check the bobbin the thread has to go thru the little lash
