I need to know how to time it. It just sits in one place and sews. It won't feed the material at all. Doing a small braided cord and have to tug it to get it sewn. Tried to raise feet and every thing went haywire!!

Ok, sometimes, my machine will stop moving in the bobbin but the needdle will still go up and down. This sounds like your problem. Lift the head and under the right side of the machine, you will see where the internal belt goes around the bottom (cam?). To the right of that, you will see two little swing bars on the end. Get one of the two bars to connect with one of the slots, press the button on the right (there are two buttons on the base of the unit to the right of the needle), and turn the wheel in the wrong direction. This will lock the cam and you can sew as usual.

If the feed dog stays in one position and just moves up and down, and doesn't pull the fabric through, press on the button in the bed closest to the needle bar. Hold it down and rotate the wheel. This adjusts stitch length/feed dog travel. There should be numbers on the wheel or under a flat metal panel next to the wheel. The numbers are for stitches per inch.
The problem you describe isn't timing, it's most likely stitch/feed dog adjustment.

I have a Bernina 2000DE serger In the front feed dog is moving opposite of the back feed dog. I'm experienced at sewing machine and serger basic maintenance, but I am stumped. Any advice?

Sounds like the small plastic cog/gears have slipped, this rarely happens and usually is from pulling heavier fabric through the machine while trying to sew. The teeth on the feed dog grips to a portion of the fabric and is tugged out of the track of the path of the rotation...
Not necessarily an out of timing issue if they are rotating independently, but likely will take a tech to disassemble it and replace the part(s). They likely will need to be replace rather than just placing them back into place.

Hope the response is helpful..

On a baby lock 6300, it's threaded correctly but when running, the track (feed system)under the foot won't pull the material through. What can I check? There are no repair shops anywhere in my area.

1. It most likely is the foot pressure not set properly. With thick material it needs to be less and with thin material it is opposite. Just test a piece of like fabric that is rags.
2. Make sure that you clean out any thread under the plate as good as you can.
3. Check your tensions. The top should be around four. The bobbin tension has to be even with the top tension. (like tug of war) However, when you thread the top do it with the foot up to check for snags. Snags are a serious problem and cause the material from moving. Good Luck.

Bobbin thread too loose moves fast when thread is pulled

***Adjust the top thread. It must be fed through the tension properly. It is best to feed the thread with the pressure foot up. While threading the machine give small tugs to check for stuck areas. Fix these even if you have to replace the thread.
***Don't thread needle yet. Now, Set the pressure foot down. Give small tugs. There should be some tugs. Adjust the tension up and down while doing this to make sure the tension is functioning.
***Thread the needle and set the tension to four. Adjust if necessary as you sew.
That is your problem. However, I've placed a guide how to set the tension of the bobbin.

The hand wheel is stuck and does not move.????

HAND WHEEL NOT TURNING EASY
If the hand wheel isn't turning freely here are possible problems.
1. Clean bobbin area and ensure bobbin case is inserted properly.
Also, put one drop of oil on race (bobbin case sets on it).
2. Check/remove material from feed dog.
3. Remove the thread and rethread with the pressure foot up while giving small tugs as you go to check for snags.
4. Afterwards put the pressure foot down and give a small tug to check for excessive resistance on thread. It is a good idea to start at four. Now place thread in needle.
5. Put oil on needle arm and pressure foot arm.
6. When done it should work.
7. If this is still a problem the interior of the machine may need cleaned and lubricated.

The feeder on my 6690 won't pull material through

Look in your owner's manual. I'm sure your machine has a reverse feed button but don't know if you can manually disable the feed teeth. If it is so equipped, it doesn't drop the teeth. Rather, it simply causes them to go straight up and down. If the teeth truly stay below the needle plate level, they are likely out of adjustment and need to bereadjusted and raised.
