kimid23 Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 I'm halfway through a customer quilt without any problems and had a loud noise, almost sounded like the bobbin was spinning with every stop and every time i slowed down. There was one tangle and found a thread wrapped around the area where the bobbin case sits....hook assembly? Was able to get that one string out and continued sewing. The noise remained and the stitches always looked fine. Any ideas and is it safe to continue sewing with the noise? Thank you, Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 It could be the bobbin moving around in the bobbin case, but I am not sure. You will probably have to call Amy and let her listen to the sound, to more accurately confirm what the issue is. When I was concerned about the sound from my George when I first got it, Amy listened to me quilting. She said the sound was just the bobbin moving in the case when I was quilting slowly. When I got more comfortable with George and sped up my stitch speed the noise disappeared. I also found the noise increases with certain aluminum bobbins. I think they may be slightly thiner or something that allows them more movement in the case. With pre-wound bobbins on cardboard bobbins, I do not get any noise at all. Hopefully, it is something simple like that. Take care care, and let us know what you learn. Cagey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
