The bobbin case was actually too hot to touch and was the first clue that something was wrong there. The tech pulled that arm out a bit to where it SHOULD be and the noise went away, and so did the overheating. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
