nora123 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hi Ladies, ok so I'm stitching along and start to hear this rattle I have never heard before coming from the hopping foot area and or flywheel. Stitches look great so I finish the 2 rows I have left on a huge customer quilt and take the quilt off to investigate. So I check my video on maintenance and clean and oil all the moving parts. It is still making that sound. Does anybody know what it might be or has this happened to you. Nora Millennium Washougal WA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dib Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I also hear a rattle (loud) when quilting on my Lenni. The stitches are perfect, bobbin is full, nothing lose. I'd love to know what it could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katydids Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Is it kind of a growly sound? Is it coming from the bobbin area and not the hopping foot? Does it continue after you have oiled the hook assembly ( bobbin basket)?? Does it continue without the bobbin case in?? If this is the case, it COULD be an air pocket in the grease in the gear chamber behind the hook assembly. Unthread the machine and take out the bobbin case. Run the machine on manual at med speed and get down and listen. Is it kind of growly/rattley? It COULD be an air pocket and the grease needs to be repacked. This is not hard to do, you just need the grease from the factory. I would definately call service and they can diagnose the problem over the phone and then get you taken care of. Hope this helps.
