The needle is catching on the bobbin going in and coming out. I just had it cleaned last year. I would really love to fix this myself as money is tight. If anyone has instructions on how to adjust the timing I would appreciate it.
Setting time isn't as simple as it sounds. You'd have to follow a checklist first before you can do the setting. I could tell you but it is just too long to upload and don't know how I can post the img's. So my best advice is to buy the factory or generic repair manual.

It will also show you how to thread a 1222-E
My scanner is broken so I couldn't upload illustrations from my manual,
Timing the sewing hook:
With the machine set for straight stitching and needle in it's central position, the point of the sewing hook should be exactly opposite the center line of the needle when the needle bar has risen 2.0mm from it's lowest point.
Initial check:Turn the master selector dial to the straight stitch and the needle position knob to the central needle position.
Disengage the automatic mechanism.
Remove the sewing foot and needle plate.
Turn the balance wheel to bring the needle bar to it's lowest position.
Push the C clamp (00870137-01) on the needle bar and tighten it's screw lightly.
Push the 2.0mm thick gauge blade (00870137-01) with it's cutout onto the needle bar above the C clamp.
Push the C clamp together with the gauge blade up against the needle bar frame.
Tighten the knurled screw of the C clamp.
Turn the balance wheel back and forth a little.
If there is any play at the gauge blade, repeat the above adjustment procedure.
Remove the 2.0mm gauge blade.
Turn the balance wheel in it's normal direction until the C clamp contacts the needle bar frame. The needle bar has thus risen by the amount of 2.0mm which is required to form a loop and the hook point should now be exactly opposite of the center line of the needle.

Too bad the effort I put in here wasn't rated, I don't think they even knew someone had real answers to their question.
