Eight years after this video was made, I am so grateful it is still here. Thanks Uwe, wherever you are, much appreciated.
This tutorial is SOOOO well illustrated. CZcams should make your video part of a required lesson for anyone else wanting to put up a "how to" video. Well done.
I just bought a Juki LU-563. Your video was super helpful. I had very mismatched forward and reverse stitch lengths, but I have the machine with the lock pin underneath. It turns out you can adjust the handle position relative to the rod and adjust your forward / reverse ratio that way. My handle was way off center. Then I used the spacer screw on the "redundant" part you removed to fine tune the forward / back. Works like a champ now. Thanks again.
Everything that needed to be shown and nothing that didn't. A masterpiece of artistic minimalism.
Thank you for making this Uwe. I will be purchasing a used techsew 563 soon and this video gave me confidence that i can keep this machine running properly for a long time to come.
I don't think this tutorial could have been any better. Thank you so much for posting it. I have six Juki 562s and I need to adjust all of them for resale. This video is going to come in very handy.
This is a master class in how to produce a technical video. I'm a huge fan.
Thank You, adjusted a JUKI LH-515 now works smoothly and beautifully !!!
Incredibly well done!! Thank you so much! Exactly what I needed in setting up my Juki
This is by far the best tutorial on the Juki 562/563 on the web. Thank you very much.
your video was excellent, being able to see a machine works is priceless, Once I understood how the different parts worked with each other it was a whole bunch easier to repair. if I can understand how it works and the setting I can usually fix it. You hit all the high points to set the machine. .It is rare to find somebody who has been there and done that. Is willing to share his experience. Excellent is an understatement. But thanks for your time. Thank you personally Allen
UWE, your sharing this developed (experience) and knowledge in a dimminishing service world for things "mechanical" is so VERY appreciated....In a matter of minutes I straighten-ed out my 563, now sewing beutifull as it should. YOU are a mechanical genious, and not too bad at putting it into video...(chuckle)...smiling
Your videos are the best, ever, hands down. I was able to make my feet adjust equally, but I'm not too confident to set the maximum foot lift on my singer 111w .... I am not read to play with those internal screws on the singer that my manual says I need to adjust without seeing someone else do it... so for now I'll be happy with the foot lift I currently have now that it's equal!
I just bought this machine and ur videos answers everything I needed to know thanks a lot
The best instructional I have seen yet Thanks for taking the time to record it
I really like the lighting. It makes it very easy to see. Thanks
Very cool video! Thanks to you my Juki is running like new again!!
Your video is a thing of beauty! Thank you!!
wonderfully detailed and thorough! thank you for making this and sharing!
Thank you!! I have a Consew 226 that I rescued from a rusty death that I am in the process of refurbishing. It sews backwards until you press the reverse lever. I am going to set all the timing and see if i can get it to correct. This video has been so helpful.
YAY!!! You helped me fix my machine!!! Thank you so much!! 👍🏼🫶🏻🙏🏼
Thank you for providing this video! Blessings
Great video this will help me fix the un even stitch length on my Consew
Simple & educative video! The background music makes the process of understanding comfortable. Thanks for sharing & .PDF stitch length gauge! Finally I find iiit 10:40 : lol .
this is great demonstration and video like university , nice work and thanks a lot , keep working
Fantastic... I learned a lot about my Juki.!
Excellent tutorial. Thank you very much.
Hello, Great video, thank you, will be very helpful as I have just purchased an old 563 that seems to in ok working order but is very dirty, a lot of lint stuck on the insides from the oil , I was wondering if you would be so kind as to give some advise on cleaning it out? Is it ok to use degreasers in the machine? I want to give it a full clean and service before I use it!
Thanks from Australia
Pfaff 145 is not a problem now. Many thanks
hi sir, this is muthukumar from India, very useful video sir,thank you very much sir..
Another excellent tutorial, thanks :)
That’s an awesome video.
Thank you for sharing.
Hi - Fascinating insight into how to adjust these machines. Do you know if the measurements quoted and adjustment techniques are the same for the Singer 111W machines
Do you have any videos on the oiling process for these machines? I watched this video and I'm going to try to adjust my stitch length. Just got this machine, it sews but I believe it needs some adjusting. I've oiled it on all the red markings, but didn't quite understand about the oiling underneath. Said something about oil pan.... I'm hoping you have another great video on oiling that will make it all look simple, like this one does! Your great! Thanks!
Hello, Uwe.
Very useful video indeed.
I've made some adjustments like you taught, exept forward and reverse stitch length.
My machine is very similar but slightly different. I own Durkopp 239-525.
There is no full and clear video about Durkopp kind machines.
Can you help me out?
Thanks.
Excellent information. Thank you so much!
Hi. Thanks for the video. I have a question. After setting my machine up as per the video, i could get a decent stitch length. About 5 stitch max. Then after usung it some, the stitch length dropped down to about half. I turned the stitch length back to zero, but i noticed that there was now horizontal motion in the feet. What should i check to fix this problem? Please help!!!!
I am in the process of setting up an Brother LS2-837-310. I am at almost 10mm of forward stitch and 5-6mm in
reverse on a machine spec'd to 8mm. Everything that you might think to
adjust seemed locked in place with setscrews and location indents. I
even removed the backtack solenoid in case it was binding things up. Have you adjusted a machine like this?
Hi, Great video! I'm glad I happened across this video. I just bought {I'm told] an ugly Consew 226. A sewing machine company identified it. I can't locate the view wind you mentioned at 1:33. Can you tell me where to find it, if Consew 226 has one?
Thanks, Brad
Very well done, big help !
Excellent video .i have 3 juki lu563's and 1 Nakajima ( lu563 knockoff)
Hi Uwe, thank you for your videos. I've referenced them many times! Do you have any guidance on adjustments or tips on how to make backstitches as clean as possible? Even when tension is perfect and the forward/reverse stitch length is equal, the backstitches at the beginning and end of a stitch pattern (on a wallet for example) are never quite as attractive as the other stitches. Machines used are Juki LU-563 and Juki LU-1508N Thank you!
If I adjust the rocker bar to a value more than 8.54 will I get longer stitches? I have a Singer 211g266 which works fine but the max stitchlength is not 7mm like the manual says but more like 4.5 or 5mm. Think I have done every adjustment in the book by now or am I just grasping at straws?
Hello do you have video on adjusting motor and belt on a Comsew 75t blindhem machine ?
Great video, thanks!
Thank you so much for this great 👍 video
this is great help me alot thanks
Awesome video. I have watched it several times and now my juki 562 is stitching almost perfectly. My problem is on canvas im getting 4.5 stitches per inch but when i go to vinyl it jumps up to 7 or 8 stitches per inch. When i switch feet i am getting about 8 stitches per inch on canvas. Does anyone clue me in on whats happening? Thank you in advance
Great video. I have a Juki LUH 561 that I’m trying to set it to 0. How can you tell when the lever motion is center to 0? That’s the part Is not clear to me. Thanks for your help!
Great job!
Hi, when i run my juki lu563 at high speed it makes small stitchs but when i use it slow speed with same settings the stich length remains ok. What could be the cause of it.
Very interesting. Thank you.
great video thank you seeeew much...yes thats a play on words. great video.
Thank you so much for this, my machine is running better than ever now.
Any chance you have worked on a pfaff 345? There are just no videos (and no repairpeople) around. I am having a little trouble with the thread getting caught up and maybe my timing is off...
Thanks again and your videos are perfectly set up and easy to learn from:)
I have a Juki LU-563, how do I get just the presser foot to drop down to the fabric, sometimes it won't press down hard enough to move two layers of fabric? I watched your video and it looks like you move two different bolts or is it just one and you are pressing down on the arm that I can't see? Thanks
ok. i will try to figure something out. the part on my machine that should have a turn dial for adjusting the presser foot tension...only has a screw down in the hole...guess it broke and someone put a screw in instead...hope I figure this out!
buenas amigo una consulta yo tengo una maquina de coser juki lu 563 y my consulta es las piesa de la parte de arriba donde va la aguja y todo el sistema donde alsa la pata para andar son las misma q las de la singer 111w115 es q quiero cambiar esas piesas de mi maquina de la juki lu 563 y solo encontre de la singer 111w115 y no asi de la juki lu 563 por favor saqueme de esa duda es q la quiero pedir por ebay pero por ahi no le hace. le agradeceria su repuesta le escribo desde santa cruz de la sierra bolivia un saludo y gracias a su video e podido regular mi maquina de coser mi oficio es la tapiceria por eso me interesa q la maquina trabaje bien
con esta video e puesto a punto de mi maquina gracias a -UWE GROSSE
Hi Uwe, How do you know when the machine is set to "0" ? I am adjusting my LU563 but the wheel get very tight and I'm not sure if it is at zero. thanks John G.Your video is very good! since I don't have access to service in my area, I depend on youtube. / thanks again.
You can verify the stitch is at or close to zero if the needle and feed dog stay centered front-to-back when you depress the reverse lever or turn the handwheel. Sometimes the parts inside the feed excenter stick together from old oil residue. Oil the excenter (and everything else) and try to move stitch length to both extremes a couple of times. There should be a hard stop at both ends and relatively smooth movement in the middle. There are some adjustment screws on the excenter itself, but they rarely need to be adjusted.
UWE......Quick.....need help! was following your process everything was going perfect until I was adjusting reverse stitch length. Now I have no forward walk. what did I screw up. Stitch length at 8/in? Reverse works perfect.
hello sir ,can u guide me on how to repair thread nest from the bottom in spite of the upper tread tension is fully closed
I bought an Adler door cup 239-125. It has different lengths of stitches, forward and backward. Do you know how to adjust this. you may have a manual of adjustments to this machine. Best regards Sven-Åke Hellström Sweden
How can you adjust the mechanism to release the thread tensioner when you lift the foot. In my machine, when you lift the foot the tensioner does not release the tension. I checked and the rod that pushes the tensioner does not protrude far enough.
Thanks, Joe
good video, thanks.
Uwe…my stitch length adjustment is unable to be completed due to the housing being pinned with a roll pin to the shaft. Is there a different way to adjust or would you remove the roll pin?
Awesome tutorial.
Can you please help with one more thing.
Juju 563. Sewing backwards. When I hold reverse lever is sews normal. I tried to figure it out for hours but need help.
Thank you in advance if you can help me.
Make sure your motor and hand wheel are spinning in the proper direction.The top of the hand wheel needs to move towards you. Some older clutch motors may start up in the wrong direction. The machine won't actually make stitches because the hook spins backwards, but it will "appear" to sew in the opposite direction.
Does anyone know if all settings in this video apply to Seiko SL-19? It looks like the SL-19 is based on Singer 211 which is very similar to a Singer 111 internally. And I guess the Juki 563 is based on the Singer 111. Any input is much appreciated.
I am specifically curious to know if the 8.54mm distance between bars is applicable. The distance does not match on my machine, and I would like to know if it should. Any input is appreciated.
Good eavning Siŕ. I have a problem that I can't seem to figure out. It skips multiple stiches at random. It will sew fine for a decent length then not stitch at all, anywhere from 1-15 stiches. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Thomas Austin
Machines skip stitches when the hook fails to grab the upper thread.
Of course, it can be a timing error, or the needle being thrown off by a collision you didn't even notice.
Keep in mind, these parts whirl at speeds rivaling a race car engine.
If a commercial machine isn't grounded, just static electricity from fabric will create a powerful magnetic field.
The needle needs to come very close; close enough that the magnetic field pulls the needle into the hook.
Inspect your used needles and the hook point.
If you find burrs, those must be gently removed or the thread will fray on them.

Great!!! Thank you.
Les prises de vue sont excellentes et illustrent parfaitement les procédures. Un modèle du genre. Pourrai-t-on faire mieux ???
Are these adjustments the same on a consew 226 ??
I have a Juki 563. It’s not quite the same for adjusting the forward to reverse stitch length. I tried adjusting it and now it only runs in reverse. Must be some fine adjustment off now.
You are great, man! I am a sewing machine lover too. My hobby is to close to ''perfect timing'' on my machines. Can you make a video for a 3 step zig-zag machine (with walking foot if it is possible) timings?
Thanks for the kind words! I've not yet worked on a walking foot zig-zag machine, so I can't really help there, sorry!
thnx sir for this video
thank you so much for this video i love my Juki and this video will help me keep it running correctly. Can i get a copy of this video?
You can order a DVD with one of my CZcams videos by visiting shop.uwe.net (U.S. orders only)
Hi any suggestions on a consew 226R-2
My reverse stich is giving me a hard time
Uwe, would this work for regulating the forward and reverse stitch length on a Consew 226R? Looks similar, but some differences. Thanks
Hi, Why does my sewing machine come back when I stop sewing? The motors no longer have a brake but this causes the thread on the hook to tie into a knot...
JUKI 563
Hi Uwe / good video! I just inherited a Consew 226 and it is totally out of adjustment (I think) stitch length wheel is locked!
I don't want to force it and break something... I'm trying to figure where to start, I've been watching your videos a few years now.
I have a LU-563 that works ok now, thanks for your videos, great help!
I'm working on a video for the Singer 111W155 style stitch length adjustment assembly (also called feed eccentric). I hope to wrap it up within a week.
Thanks, I'll be looking forward to watching it. JG
Hi Uwe,
Amazing video! I learned a lot from it.
There is still one problem with my machine, that I hope that you can help me with.
It is sewing backwards! And I have no idea why. I've had it rewired to fit to my shops outlets, why I thought the poles was reversed, but my electrician said that, that is not the case.
When he left me the first time, it was sewing perfectly, but then I had to change the stitch-length, and it has been sewing backwards ever since.
Do you have any idea of how to fix this? :)
Thank you in advance!
Kind regards,
Simon
If it's your motor that actually spins backwards, then if it's a three phase clutch motor (unlikely in a domestic setting) you'll need to swap any two of the three power leads and the motor will spin the other direction. I'm not sure I trust your electrician entirely. What exactly did he "rewire" to fit your shop?
If your motor is a single phase clutch motor, it may simply start spinning in the wrong direction occasionally. If so, just power off the motor, then turn it on again while you"help" it get started in the right direction by pressing the pedal and turning the handwheel in the correct direction - let go of the pedal as soon as it start spinning up. Get a modern servo motor when you get tired of this game.
If your motor and handwheel spins in the correct direction, but your machine still sews backwards when it shouldn't, then something totally different is going on. You'd have to be more specific about how exactly you "had to change stitch-length."
But in reality I can't really do individual troubleshooting remotely via CZcams on a global basis beyond what I typed just now. I'm available for individual remote consulting and troubleshooting via Skype or Facetime. My hourly rates are the same as your local plumber or electrician :-)
I have a feeling that he has done something wrong, and that your first suggestion is the right one :) I'll have him come back and check up on it. I did everything in your video, to be sure it was set up correctly, and now it is.
He put in new cables, beause the guy i bought it off had just cut them at the starter-box.
It is a Jugi LU 563 that has been used in a autoupholstery shop, why I don't think it is a domestic setting, as you write.
Thank you so very much to have taken the time to answer my question, it is real kind of you :)
Kind regards,
Simon
Do you have an engine supply for me to buy and send to Indonesia?
Uwe, I've just purchased a Juki LU-563 and am checking and making several adjustments as described in your excellent video. I have a question about what constitutes a 'stitch'. When I sew and check the stitches, I count how many times the thread passes over the cloth, disappearing in to lock with the bottom thread. When you measure 8 stitches per inch (2.54 cm) I see 8 holes from 0 to the 1" mark. If I link the holes with a pencil, I have 7 lines! I have been calling these visible thread sections 'stitches' so I see 7 stitches per inch. I don't really know what's going on. Can you help me here?
Yup, eight needle holes make seven stitches. Or just count the holes starting with zero.
@@UweXY So, at 2:12, I see 8 holes so isn't that 7 stitches per inch, not 8 that you were setting the stitch wheel at?
You are correct, the stitches on the gauge are indeed seven stitches per inch and not eight. It took over five years for somebody to notice that! I may have picked the wrong video snippet during editing. The indicator wheels on these machines are *very* rough estimates of stitch length. Few people really expect them to be accurate, they’re more of a rough guide to repeat a certain setting. It makes little difference in real world sewing, Stitch length as measured on that gauge will rarely match precisely when sewing multiple layers or various materials. Nonetheless, sorry about the confusion!
@@UweXY Yes, I doubt anyone relies on much more than "that looks about right"!! I really enjoy your comments, advice, and excellent videos. I made a number of adjustments to my new baby late into last evening. My wife would like it off the kitchen counter soon...
Awesome & great videos man. I have a singer 111G156 my Big walking foot doesn't lift while sewing like the one showed here. is there a way to correct this or is that the way the machine is set up? also, is there a way to tighten the tension on the bobin, my top thread seems to be pulling too hard and I released most of the tension there. I was thinking maybe I need to tighten the bobin tension to resolve this problem. any help would be greatly appreciated. keep up the good work with the videos.
Your machine should work the same . Page 17 of the manual (www.manualslib.com/manual/364314/Singer-111w156.html) also describes how to adjust the presser foot walking height. There may be other adjustment issues. The outer foot only lifts up if the inner foot can press against the feed dog. The outer foot uses the inner foot as leverage via linkages to lift up. My video about replacing the thread tension release guide (czcams.com/video/4aSNYzUTnW4/video.html) shows how the linkages inside the head work and how they should be adjusted.
Also, there's a tiny screw on the thread tension spring on the hook that allows you adjust the bobbin thread tension. The manual mentioned above should cover this.
+Uwe Grosse thanks so much this has really been helpful. I got everything set, but I think I screwed it all up when I adjusted the feed dogs. now instead of 5 spi, I get 12 spi. do I need to realign/set the stitch wheel to 12 to match the stitches that I currently have?
Excelente
Hi UWC I have Consew 206 and do you know how to adjust the stitch to be the same length and fall in the same hole in reverse?
Sorry, I've not yet worked on a Consew 206, so I can't really help you there. Sometimes the manual will just tell you, actually, but I've not read the Consew 206 manual. The Consew 206RB1/2/3/4/5 versions may also have variations in how the reverse mechanism works.
The Consew 206-RB5 is the same as Seiko STH-8BLD-3. Page 23 of the manul (www.keysew.com/webpages/owners&partsbooks/ownersbooks/sth-8bld-3ownerskeyfoot.pdf) talks about how to adjust forward/reverse stitch length. Give that a shot.
Your videos are awesome! They are amazing informative. I have a seiko machine which is similar, but when I change the stitch size the reverse Lever bobs up and down. It keeps doing this unless the stitch size is reset to a smaller size. Has this ever happened to you before? Do you have any idea why this would happen? Any suggestions would help as I am at a loss. Thank you!
+ae k I haven't seen this particular problem myself. Usually that kind of stuff happens when a part during the normal range of motion hits something and the normal motion gets changed to a different movement. I'd carefully inspect the linkages on the underside as the you turn the wheel. I suspect that at some point in the stitch cycle something is touching or hits a limit, right at the point when the reverse handle starts moving by itself. You may also feel some additional resistance as you turn the wheel (belt removed), indicating that something is not quite right.
+Uwe Grosse thank you for your suggestion, I took apart some components and oiled it and it seems to be working alright again! so happy it's working! :)
I had same problem and I solved it. It is about reverse mechanism's angle.
Hallo. Finde Ihre Videos die besten im Nähmaschinenetechnikbereich! Ich habe eine Pfaff 541 und eine 141 (fast baugleich). Bei der 541er stimmt die Vorwärtsstichlänge nicht mit der Rückwärtstichlänge überein. Wo und wie kann ich das einstellen? Vorwärts habe ich 6mm max und rückwärts 4mm max. Auch zeigt das Stichloch rückwärts eine leichte "Ziehbewegung" als wäre das Timing Untertransport und Nadel nicht exakt. Ich wäre sehr froh um einen Hinweis wie ich das korrigieren kann. Danke!
Hi. My Juki lu 563 is leaving marks from the feed dog on my leather. i looked at the manual and it says to tuen ta screw that looks like its behind the little pole with the multiple holes. well, the screw will not turn to the left anymore..and turning it right will tighten or increase pressure. what can I do?
Sewing leather without leaving any marks can be tricky (and sometimes impossible) and there's no simple answer. Discussion forums like www.leatherworker.net (forum: leather sewing machines) are filled with lengthy discussions about just that topic. Many factors are involved: type of leather, presser foot spring strength, feed dog and presser feet with or without teeth, feed mechanism, throat plate design, and so forth.
+Uwe Grosse
how can I fix the issue of the middle foot shifting to the right when its all the way down? could it be going down too far...in turn putting too much pressure on the leather?

Hi, don't know if you are still monitoring comments on this video, could you please tell me where you get the stitch length gauge cardboard you are using? Thank you, the video is very helpful.
Never mind, thank you, I finally saw the link in the video..
What advantage does reducing the foot lift height have? I usually leave mine set to maximum.
Lower foot lift reduces dynamic stress, vibrations, and noise when you sew very fast. It has no real advantage when you sew at slow speeds for leather or upholstery work.
@@UweXY Thanks Uwe. In that case I should probably reduce the lift height to the minimum I can get away with. I primarily sew leather at the machine's max speed.
just curiosity, i know that you have consew 225 and singer 111w155, which are same machines exactly. what are the differences compared to lu-563? can you check it? maybe bobbin size, maybe take-up lever stroke distance...
Yes, the bobbin and hook size are larger on the 563, and also a few associated bits like hook saddle, take-up lever etc. The other big thing is that the lu-563 has reverse, which neither the 225 nor the 111w155 have.
@@UweXY thank you very much!
Thanks you so much nice
Hello, I wonder if it is possible to further increase the length of the stitch machine juki the lu- 563? 10mm possible ? thanks from Brazil
You can purposely shift the forward/reverse stitch balance to increase maximum forward stitch length. I don't think you'll be able to get 10mm because of the reverse mechanism, but 8.5mm or 9mm should be possible. There's a special version of the Juki LU-563 called LU-563-3 (subclass 3) that has no reverse but it offers a maximum stitch length of 10mm.
Ok thanks for the info, to make this change is very complicated? There is this change in this video that you made ?
The adjustment to change forward/reverse stitch length balance is shown starting at 10:30 . Some machines have this setting locked at the factory and you cannot change it.
I appreciate your attention and information, thank you and congratulations for your work and videos that help us a lot.
I need help! do you know how to adjusting the height of the foot lifter for Juki 8700? could you tell me please, I pay someone to come fix my machine, but he can't fix it. thank you very much
Sorry, I'm not really familiar with the Juki DDL-8700. Luckily, manuals are readily available omnline: www.juki.co.jp/industrial_j/download_j/manual_j/ddl8700/menu/ddl8700/menu_eg.html
Page 2 of the Instruction Manual describes how to adjust the knee operated foot lift.
Thank you, my machine don’t have knee lift, just foot lifter, but thanks anyway sir
Oftentimes machines can lift the foot higher using the knee lift mechanism compared to the hand lift lever on the back of the machine. The amount of foot lift via the hand lever is generally fixed by the design of the parts and can't be adjusted. Page 7 of the parts manual shows the parts involved in the foot lift mechanism. You might be able to operate the linkage by hand to get maximum foot lift. Otherwise, consider installing a knee lift mechanism if you need more foot lift.
Thank you very much for your help sir 🙏
Buenas tardes como se cambia la banda de tiempo de makina triple arrastre ?
Hi... great video..
Im having a problem with my juki 563.. the stitching it got small and gets bigger as i increase the speed, gets smaller as i slow down. I also noticed a play on the feed dog..
Please help. Thanks
There should be no play in the feed dog movement. Find out why the feed dog has play and fix that first.
Uwe Grosse actually the play is with tha middle foot together..it looks like is coming from a piece on the bottom where the changing stitch botton presses down to.. that piston like arm has play..
Uwe Grosse hi.. i made a video to show you the issue with my juki..
It was working fine.. and out of a sudden it started doing this.. please help.. thanks. czcams.com/video/ph9TckrqdCE/video.html
One my Juki LU-563 in order to match forward and reverse stitch you have to drive out a small pin that is next to the screw you loosen. LOOKS like the factory tried to make that setting semi permanent. Thanks for tge videa. You should set up a Patreon account.
Hey I have that little pin on my 562 also. I cant get the stitches to adjust at all. My reverse stitches are way way shorter than my foreward. Do I drive the pin out to move the arm??
I have a problem, maybe you can give me a idea... I am thinking that my pfaff 418's take-up lever design is wrong. When the upper thread goes around the bucket (the thing that the bobbin case sits inside), the lever begins to rise before the thread reaches to the lowest point of the bucket. As you may already guess, this results in the thread getting to an unnecessary level of tension, getting teared and sometimes broken. What is ideal main shaft angle for lever bottom dead point?
Your top and bottom shaft probably got out of synch somehow. In general, as you said, the thread takeup lever should be at it's lowest point when the top thread wraps around the farthest point of hook. It's really an adjustment issue, not a design issue. Spend some quality time with the Pfaff 418 service manual you can download at dixiesewingmachine.tzo.com/MANUALS/PFAFFSERVICE/418%20438(10-83.pdf
By the way, I found the manual by Googling "Pfaff 418 Service Manual"
But the bottom shaft has nothing to do with this. Bottom shaft triggers the hook, feet dog and bobbin case opener. The issue I am talking about is caused by the timing of the lever being ahead of the needle. Both the lever and the needle are moved by the top shaft. If you have a machine that shows the top shaft angle, can you check the angle when the lever is at the bottom dead point please? If it is not too much trouble to ask, of course.
Yeah I solved it! Apparently I was right. The lever was beginning to rise before the thread reaches to the lowest point of the bucket, = Timing of the lever was ahead of the needle. I figured out that I should make the needle bar arrive to BDC earlier. There was only one part that can make this happen and I ensured this change with it. As you can imagine, the timing of the parts other than the lever were a bit behind after this change. Finally, I had the machine work perfectly by setting those parts to their correct timings again. I have shown the change I made in the photo:

Good for you! Did you replace a part or just make an adjustment? Make a little video of your fix so others can benefit!
Does your adjustment now match the diagram on the first page of the Adjustment manual referenced above?
I need to get my Singer 111W153 working. I moved a bunch of things cleaning it and trying to get it to work but messed it all up. This will give me a starting point. This is very much like the 111W153 is it not. less the reverse. Thanks
que pena não ter legendas em portugues tenho uma igual gosto muito (sou estofador)
Eu não falo português, desculpe. Eu uso o Google translate (translate.google.com) Eu tenho que ler ou escrever algo em um idioma que eu não falo. Pode ser útil para você.
also, my inner presser foot slides slightly to the right when it makes contact to the fabric/feed dogs. although its tightenes all the way, there is play...i can twist it left and right...
That is not a good sign. Something may be loose or broken in the head. My video on how to replace a thread tension release guide (czcams.com/video/4aSNYzUTnW4/video.html) shows how things inside the head come apart. There's a vertical guide channel that keeps the inner foot shaft from rotating as it moves up and down - it may be missing or broken or loose. I don't recommend taking things apart unless you're really comfortable with the procedure, and know how to put things back together. The same video also shows the main tension screw and how to loosen it all the way to remove the pressure spring. Some machines have the thumb wheel on top, some machines have a set screw type that you need a screwdriver to adjust.

can you give me an email to send a short video of the slight movement of the foot? my husband is a mechanic..hes not home..but Im decent with taking things apart.
We're on youtube, the best place to share videos! Emailing video is troublesome. Just upload it here (as a non-public video if you prefer) and then send me a direct message. Include a view of the inside of the head as you wiggle the inner foot.

disregard the video with the thread....ummm I didnt have the needle threaded....lol! sorry for the waste of time! my indicator wheel is still off though. i will have my husband fix it when he gets home hoepfully.
I see it now. I should have watched the whole video before asking a question.
