The snapping sound is the main threadfeed drive gear not lining up or meshing 
properly with the gears on the threadfeed roller assembly. The threadfeed 
roller assembly gears then drive the individual threadfeed rollers. 

Debbie,
The right upper color change motor cover can be removed to check the condition 
of the main threadfeed drive gear. It is a white nylon gear approximately 1.5" 
in diameter. If this gear is broken or fractured it will cause the gear to 
wobble resulting in gear slippage,for lack of a better definition, which in 
turn will cause all kinds of grief. Eratic sewing, loose loopy stitching, false 
or real bobbin and thread breaks, etc.. If it is fractured or broken, it will 
need to be replaced.

I have often seen lots of thread get wrapped up in these gears which will cause 
them to fail....it is mainly a maintenance issue..
