Rod, we looked at every one of your suggestions. Surprisingly, the bobbin spool was rather tattered. We followed thru with the lubrication schedule over the weekend. afterwards sewed a few basic designs and then went back to the original design. Everything sewed nicely and quietly. As was suggested, seems that it took just a little while for the oil to work its way into the right spots. Once again - thanks! And Hugo, nice to know there is a technician close by. We will definately keep your number handy. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
