It sews fine with it off and fine if I use the bobbin timer. Tried adjusting the case several times and even changed cases. Also tried different upper and lower limits and it has a new sensor bar. The "clanking" sound while sewing sounds kind of like having the presser foot down to low and hitting the needle plate...but that's not it. Everything that I can see looks like it's moving freely no rubbing etc. The machine seems to be sewing fine just hate running something if it's in pain and causing more issues. The tech told me to use the machine there is nothing wrong with it that he can see...so I guess I use it. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
