I do live in mississippi and it does get hot here but my machine is in a spare bedroom not sure if that matters much. The machine does sew and as far as I can tell it does not miss any stitches. There is not any loud snapping as the needle case color changes. From further observations last night the sound seems to come and go as the machine sews different parts of a design it sound normal from my experience with my six needle and then this clacking sound starts again. Is this something that is cover by warranty. I spoke with Melco last week about my warranty and they want to charge me $900. for another year and then I still have to pay 200 every time a tech come out. Anywho, I really want to get this right and take very good care of my machine so are there in good tech close to gulfport, ms that anyone can recommend. Any info will be greatly appreciated.
