Need to fix the timing of my machine. Would like to figure out how to do this and avoid a $100 bill at the repair shop.
I had a timing problem, I believe, and fixed it. But its not yet perfect.....What happened was the top thread was not being caught by the bobbin holder. So when I "sewed", there were no stitches. When I watched the bobbin through the window, the bobbin didnt turn, and thread didnt whiz around the bobbin holder as it should with each stitch. I even made a video to see if there was a timing problem...the needle went down well before the bobbin holder "thread catcher hook" arrived to catch the loop. So I took off the plate underneath the bobbin holder, and adjusted the timing. When you do that you will see a cogwheel that rotates as the bobbin holder rotates. Three alan wrench screws hold it tight to the axle that rotates with the handwheel/footplate. I loosened the alan wrench screws, and then did the following. Hold the needle holder so it doesnt move, and at the same time turn the hand wheel a little. This adjusts the timing of the needle relative to the bobbin turning. then plug the machine in, and see if the bobbin wheel is now catching the thread. Keep adjusting until it does. Then tighten things back up, and VOILA! Im not sure this is the best way to adjust the timing, but it works. My machine went from no stitches at all, to sewing nicely. Its not yet perfect, as it jams every now and then. But that may be because the timing is still a little off, or because the thread is bad, or the tension of the thread is not quite right......working on that still.......
Glad to see someone managed to at least get theirs stitching. I've meddled with some zig zag machines before and I wasn't able to get the zig zag stitches timed. The machine was a poorly made singer from the late 60s and wasn't worth the headache so now I just let it sit and use it's table as a game console table. :D

Sears has a part replacement website and the Shark-Intelli 9110 is one the items that have replacements parts for the machine. They have a diagram that breaks down each individual part, including screws and they number them. You have to study the diagram to figure out the actual part.
The only suggestion I have is to contact Euro-Pro and identify yourself as the owner and that you want the Tech manuals and diagrams.

There is no solution for that problem. My machine was doing the same thing, I returned it for "repair". Got it back 2 wks later and had the same problem. Just the other day, the machine did that, and then something "popped" and now the upper thread won't catch the bobbin thread. I called Customer Service and was told that if I want my machine repaired, I have to send them a check with the machine for $81! Your best bet...get rid of the Intelli-Sew and buy something that doesn't break every month or so!

I have a euro pro 9110 and the feed dog brook , where I can get it?
SOURCE: LCD screen is blank and machine makes a constant high-pitch sound
There is a contrast adjustment iside the cover. Top right hand corner of the machine. It is just above the computer board and has a phillips head adjustment. It looks like a small square block with the white plastic phillips fitting coming out of it. It takes very small adjustments to change the contrast. Have your machine on while making the adjustment.
Tools needed: #1 phillips, #2 phillips and I used a razor knife to remove the button covers on 3 screws.
Time taken: First repair: up to an hour Future repairs: 20 minutes

I had it fixed at the repaor shop for close to $100. When I used it again after 20 minutes of sewing it jammed and the timing went out. It's too expensive to keep taking it back to the shop for timing repair. I like this machine because I can use it to embroider names with it.I'm willing to take it apart to fix it, but I need the blow-up diagram of the timing parts to know what to change.
