Sergers

I am working on a Singer 14u 85b serger with differential feed. This is a 5 thread serger. Old but very nice. The machine was very dry and frozen up. That problem is no more. She is free and turning well. Problem is the timin g is completely screwed up. I have the service manual but I need a starting point or zero point to start from. Any ideas or suggestions? I have been working on sewing machines for a long time BUT I am having prob lems getting started on this serger.

Ron Anderson may offer some help, although his usual advice is to take complicated stuff like serger timing issues to a service technician.

I agree. He's very good and won't steer you wrong.

You're welcome to take a look at the stitch cycle photos I posted here:

-- they're in several albums, but truthfully, the less hair-tearing approach would be to haul it to a serger tech. I'm pretty good at mechanical things, and I can often do minor adjustments to an out of time serger, but if it's way out of whack, I wouldn't hesitate to take it in. ps: I highly recommend taking a good series of closeup photos of any newly adjusted machine. It's amazing how often that's saved a trip to the serger or sewing machine shop for something minor once I started doing that.
