Concheska Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 I broke a needle on my Millenium this morning while doing a little oiling and it is really loud. It sounds like it is the bobbin basket making all of the noise. My stitches are still good and not skipping so I do not think it is my timing. I am scared to continue and mess things up big time. Does anybody know what could be wrong with my baby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethDurand Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 I believe that there is a video on timing online. Sorry, not the computer genius that I profess to be. Timing is really scary the first time, but after that it just gets easier. Start with some research and chocolate, and I bet things will get easier.

cjtinkle Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 My bobbin basket is terribly noisy. It rattles away like crazy. My hubby just did a complete servicing on my machine, repacked the gear box, re-timed it, etc. It has a great stitch, but that noise.... I clean out and oil after every other bobbin as well.

chickenscratch Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Mine is very rattley and noisy.. It always has been with this machine. I even bought a new bobbin case, thinking that would help. I just keep it clean and oiled and live with the noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concheska Posted December 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Thanks for your help everyone. I do keep it cleaned and oiled every quilt but this is a new noise. Maybe the tip of my needle is hiding in there somewhere and making that new clicking noise. My hubby is going to look with me and maybe we will check the timing together. I knew I would get him into quilting. lol Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qltnbe Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Hmmm...I can't remember the name of the part, but there is an arm that goes in front of the bobbin case. I broke a needle and the noise was terrible. This arm was totally bent. You can replace it for a nominal fee, but my husband heated it and straightened it and then we did the timing thing and made sure this arm was pretty close to the bobbin case. Works like a charm now.

jbnt9999 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 I have had Amy and Dawn listen over the phone to weird noise before. They are great. I had needle bar weights come lose. Who knew? They did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirleyl Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 If it rattles after a good cleaning and oiling, call and have them listen. I've done it. I've worn out my bobbin assembly. Shirley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
