Empisal dress maker 270d. is missing stitches. sews perfectly for a while then skip a few stitches. I have replaced the needle with a new one, and cleaned bobbin casing and checked tension. Now what?

Could be fabric not feeding evenly, heavy fabric with weak needle, erratic top thread tension (top thread snagging).

Here's how I test tension.

Needle up, presser foot up, and tension selector at 4. I make a slow steady long pull of top thread (zero tension w/ foot up). Thread should glide smoothly and evenly through the needle eye, with little hesitation, snagging or uneven feeding from the spool. Lower the foot down, make another slow steady pull of top thread. Again the thread should advance smoothly and evenly through the needle at the set tension level 4 (foot down). Note difference in tension at set tension 4 (foot down) and no tenion (foot up).

If I find no problem with top thread feed/tension, I then perform a like test of bobbin thread. Make a slow steady pull on bobbin thread. Again, thread should advance from the bobbin smoothly, evenly, and have tension somewhat like the top thread at level 4 (foot down).

I have an empisal dress maker 270D where can I find the oiling points and how do I change the belt

If it is a mechanical machine, you can apply 1-2 drops of good quality sewing machine oil or liquid Tri-Flow Synthetic Lube to any place where metal rubs against metal. AVOID belts, plastic gears, etc. Be sure to also move stitch selector lever and dial mechanisms.

I'm using Empisal Dressmaker 270D sewing machine. My problem is. When I sew the underneath cotton is loose

Usually, if the thread is bunching or looping under the fabric, the upper tension is too loose.. But if the bobbin thread is showing on the top of the fabric, the upper tension is too tight.

The tension is correct when both the upper and lower threads meet in the middle of the fabric.

What's your question?I'm using Empisal dressmaker 270D and when I sew the thread tangles underneath the garment

What you have is frequently referred to as thread-nesting or bird-nesting of the thread. Your upper thread tension is too loose. Tighten the upper tension (righty-tighty), test stitch, tighten, etc. until the upper thread and bobbin thread meet in the middle of your fabric.

Brother SE-270D - need timing instructions

If your machine bunch up the tread, it has nothing to do with timing. In 90% of the cases the problem lies with the top thread. Check your tension disks for any fluff or thread. Also check that you thread the machine correctly. The best way to check the tension is to thread the machine normally with the presser foot up. when you get to the stage of the threading the needle, first lower the presser the presser foot and check the tension by pulling the thread slowly with your right hand and adjust the tension with your left hand. On zero you should be able to pull freely and on 5 there should be enough resistance. If this is the case your machine should sew perfectly.
Hope this help
