Don’t worry — learning how to fix the timing on your Ultrafeed is easier than it sounds, and it’s a great skill to have in your DIY sewing toolkit. Watch our short timing videos below to learn how to check and adjust the internal components. Your Ultrafeed will be back up and running in no time!

Why Is My Ultrafeed Timing Off?

The Ultrafeed Sewing Machine is built tough, but like any sewing machine, it can go out of timing — especially if you experience a crash. Fortunately, the Ultrafeed features a Posi-Pin® Safety Shear, which protects your machine’s internal mechanisms by disengaging the power transfer when a crash occurs. This safety feature helps prevent more serious damage. However, your machine’s timing may still need adjustment after such an event.
