And we've covered the grabber trap, needle clamp,.... Has anyone mentioned the take up lever hitting the front cover? I think Rod mentioned that earlier. Items such as presserfoot, connecting rod, reciprocator, etc... would make the hammering sound on more than one needle. Perplexing, I say. But I bet I could figure it out if I was in front of the machine. (Confident, yes - I know).
