Needle is hitting the hook. I have changed the needle. It is in the correct position. How can I fix this? Thank You

If the needle on your Singer sewing machine model 5830c is hitting the hook and you have verified that it is the correct needle for the machine, there could be a few different issues causing the problem. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check the needle height: Make sure the needle is properly positioned in the machine and is not set too high or too low. If the needle is set too high, it can hit the hook as it rotates. You can adjust the needle height by turning the handwheel towards you until the needle is in its highest position, and then turning the handwheel away from you until the needle is one or two notches above the highest point of the hook.
2. Check the needle size: Make sure you are using the correct size needle for the fabric and thread you are using. If the needle is too small for the thread or fabric, it can cause the needle to hit the hook as it rotates.
3. Check the bobbin case: If the bobbin case is not properly seated in the machine or is damaged, it can cause the needle to hit the hook as it rotates. Make sure the bobbin case is correctly installed and not damaged.
4. Check the machine's timing: If the timing of the machine is off, it can cause the needle to hit the hook as it rotates. You can check the timing by removing the needle plate and observing the movement of the hook as the machine runs. If the hook is not moving in sync with the needle, it may be necessary to adjust the timing of the machine.

If you have tried these troubleshooting steps and the problem persists, it may be necessary to have the machine serviced by a professional. A technician will be able to diagnose the problem and determine the necessary repairs.

If the needle isn't fully seated then the threader will not work and the needle will hit the hook.

Be sure you have the correct needle and it is properly oriented and seated in the holder.

If it's the correct needle and it is properly seated then timing likely is the issue. Turn handlwheel so needle is at the highest position and then see if threader will work. The needle will still strike the hook but verifies needle is seated and likely timing has slipped.

Rare timing problems with the 930. I created this technical document for Bernina dealers in 1986. Hope this helps.

Also to check for the timing of loop lift, please see the enclosed photos. Note that the needle position is in the right hand position with the hook advancing so that the tip of the hook point is exactly flush with the right side of the needle. (Photos are showing the hook point for training purposes only). These observations and adjustments are always checked with the hand-wheel turned in the DOM (direction of motion). If loop lift timing is off as per the Tech sheet enclosed, the tool for correction is still available. http://www.sewtechnical.com/

the sewing machine is out of time & needs to be retimed at a

Hello,
Here are a few things to check. You may have checked some of these already but it may be worth checking again.


* When you insert your new needle, make sure it’s positioned correctly (usually with the flat side away from the bobbin, but check your manual), make sure that it goes all the way into the holder, and that the screw is securely tightened.

If there doesn’t seem to be a problem with your needle, try the following:

* Check your pressure foot
Make sure it’s attached securely.

* Change your pressure foot
Your pressure foot may be bent, causing your needle to hit it.

* Don’t sew over pins
A needle that hits a pin can break. Always remove the pins from your fabric before they reach your needle.

* Don’t pull your fabric as you sew
You could be bending your needle back, causing it to hit your needle plate instead of going into the hole. Just guide your fabric, letting it feed on its own.

* Check your needle plate
Make sure it's securely in position.

* Change your needle plate
If you’ve been using a straight stitch needle plate (a plate with a small hole, often used for sewing fine, delicate fabrics, switch to a needle plate with a wider hole.

* Check the position of your needle
Sewing machines with zigzag capability allow you to adjust the position of your needle – right,left, or center. If your needle is not positioned correctly, it may be hitting your needle plate or pressure foot.

I hope this helps.

Check the timing of the needle to the hook.
Here is a guide to generic principles of Timing

The three most obvious causes (other than that of the machine possibly being slightly out of time) are:

1) Too small of a needle size - increase the size.

2) A needle that has a flaw / defect - change the needle.

3) Needle not inserted correctly, either not pushed all the way up into the needle bar, or not installed facing the correct place. On this machine, the small "scarf" in the needle (an indent just above the eye) shouldface the right side of the machine.

FIRST DETERMIN NEEDLE BAR POSITION TURN STITCH REGULATOR TO LARGEST STITCH, THEN TURN HAND WHEEL TIL' NEEDLE IS ABOUT TO ENTER NEEDLE PLATE.
AT THIS POINT THE FEED DOGS SHOULD BE JUST AT OR JUST UNDER PLATE. IF SO NEEDLE BAR IS, IN CORRECT POSITION,AND TIMING WILL BE SET AT THE HOOK.
TO SET TIME REMOVE NEEDLE PLATE TURN HAND WHEEL SO NEEDLE IS IN LOWEST POSITION. USING A SMALL RULE RAISE NEEDLE BAR 3/32 OF AN INCH ( OR 3 MM FOR A METRIC RULE) .HOOK POINT SHOULD BE IN CENTER OF NEEDLES WIDTH. LOOSEN THE 2 SHAFT SCREWS
SLIGHTLY,TURN HOOK TIL CENTER OF NEEDLE. TIGHTEN SCREWS. IF NEEDLE BAR IS OUT OF TIME. BRING HOOK TO CENTER OF NEEDLE AND LOOSEN SCREW IN LEFT COVER. RAISE OR LOWER NEEDLE BAR TO SET 3/32OF AN INCH. THE 3/32 MUST BE VERY VERY CLOSE.
