Re: Replaced Upper Looper - no stitches will hold - Help

Timing adjustments on a serger are RARE. I have done one in 28 years. Looper
positioning on the other hand is very common.
Every one uses "Timing" as a catch all phrase in the sewing machine world. I
guess people seem to relate to it. I have worked at shops and seen others
tell people it was a timing issue, in reality they had the needle in
backwards.
I have never seen nor heard of an electronic device used on a serger or
sewing machine for timing adjustments or checking. I can not even see how it
would be possible to use such a device even if it did exist. people say all
sorts of things to add value to what ever it is they are selling you.

electronic timers but I would run away from them


I think I meant factory set. I know my engineer *has* one but usually
doesn't use it, or only starts with it and then moves on to experience...

I was also thinking that enough force to break a looper would mean that
one would at least need to CHECK the timing!
