How do you adjust the hook timing on a brother supergalaxie 3000?
The Brother Super Galaxie 3000 embroidery machine's hook time adjustment is a challenging process that calls for accuracy and close attention to detail. Inaccurate hook timing can lead to stitching problems and poor embroidery quality. Here is a general breakdown of how to change the time of the hook:
Please Note: It is recommended for a qualified technician or someone with sewing machine repair experience to make hook timing changes. To prevent possible harm to your machine, it is preferable to call a qualified technician if you are unsure that you can make this change.
1. Preparation - Ensure that the machine is unplugged and switched off.
- Take any embroidery hoops, fabric, or thread out of the machine.
- Be prepared to take off the machine's lid or case if necessary in order to access its interior components. You can find instructions on how to access internal components in your machine's handbook.
2. Identify the Hook Assembly and Related Components:Locate the Hook Timing Components. The component that catches the thread and creates stitches is the hook.
- Determine the hook's location with respect to the needle and the needle bar. You must modify your relationship.
3. Adjust the Hook Timing - Loosen the fasteners that hold the hook in place, such as the set screws. Make sure not to totally remove them and exercise caution.
- Move the hook into the proper alignment with the needle by adjusting its location. During the stitching process, it is important to make sure the hook catches the thread from the needle at the proper time. The hook may need to be gently rotated during this adjustment. For further instructions on the ideal hook timing position for your model, consult the service manual or technical documents that came with your machine.
4. Test the Machine - Before putting the machine back together, physically crank the handwheel to make sure the hook and needle are in sync.
- Reassemble any parts that were taken out and make sure.
5. Test Stitching: After putting the machine back together, stitch a test piece of cloth to check that the hook time adjustment is accurate.
- Pay close attention to the stitching, the tension of the thread, and any instances of thread breaking.
6. Fine-Tune as Needed: - You might need to adjust the hook timing even more if the stitching quality isn't adequate. Up until the desired results are achieved, make little modifications.
7. Final Inspection: - Once the stitching quality and hook timing meet your standards, thoroughly check the machine to make sure all parts are securely fastened and that there are no missing screws or other parts.
8. Regular Maintenance: Regular maintenance on your embroidery machine is recommended. This should include inspecting and, if necessary, correcting the hook time.
Keep in mind that altering hook timing can be a delicate process, therefore it's very important to adhere to the detailed instructions provided in the service manual for your machine. It is advised to seek assistance from a licensed Brother technician or a skilled sewing machine expert if you are hesitant or uncomfortable making these adjustments yourself.
Brother XL5600 is not stitching properly and dropping stitches?
need to check the hook timing.
put it in zig zag, no fabric, turn the hand wheel to you slowly.
check the needle when it is coming back up, is the hook picking up the thread? if yes continue to check the next side, so if you check the left side then check the right. if any side its not picking up the thread then the timing is off and need to be retimed
I have a Brother Lock Serger. 1034D The Pressure foot Lever just spins around.
If you can remove the cover on the left side you will see the presser foot bar. On the bar there will be a screw that may be loose. Turn the handwheel until the needle is all the way down and lift the foot manually until just before it makes contact with the needle clamp and tighten the screw on the presser foot bar.
That should do it.
I have the Brother LS2300 and when I push the pedal to begin sewing it tangles and becomes unthreaded
This is most likely a threading or a tension issue. Take out both the top and bottom threads. Clean all the areas you can get to, top and bottom, to remove any tiny pieces of thread and fluff. You'll be surprised how much trouble two or three little bits of old thread can cause. Re-thread the machine and check your tension settings.
Are you using a different type/brand of thread, have you changed the needle or are you sewing a different type of fabric? These can all affect how a machine sews so you might need to adjust your tension settings.

Have you tried adjusting the bobbin tension? There's a small screw on the bobbin case so the bobbin can be adjusted. only turn the screw a little at a time. Also be sure your top tension isok. However if you still need help these days you can buy a new bobbin case and a new top tension, both will be adjusted already to use from the factory. don't let it drive you crazy they sell the preadjusted parts for us few that just want to sew not be a tech to just sew a blouse etc. I hope this helps. good luck
