TIMING
BETWEEN

Set the stitch length to 0, turn the balance wheel to lower the needle bar to
its lowest point turn the wheel toward you, and when the needle raises 2.1 mm
from the lowest point of its travel, normally the hook point is at the center
of the
needle,
and
the
measurement
between
the
hook
point
and
the
upper
end of the needle eye should be 2 mm, further the clearance between the
hook
point
and
the
needle
hollow
should
be
0.05
to 0.2
mm.
