I have a 'Free' sewing machine that was my great grandmothers. It still has all the parts and accessories and works very well. Up until the timing got off that is. I don't have the complete instruction manual and I have sewed for a living on industrial machines my whole life, but I'm uncertain about how to fix the timing on this without wrecking the old thing. Any and all ideas are very welcome! -J

What do you mean by timing?

Pay attention to the threading. How is the foot tension?
