My machine is making
#1
a "thunking" sound whenever I sew more than two pieces of fabric. Anyone have any idea what could cause this. I've changed the needle, rethreaded, checked the bobbin, etc. It's annoying but other than that it seems to sew fine. It just started doing it lately. Help! I'm tired of listening to it. :-(

Does it have a drop in bobbin? If so, does it have a little hole with fuzz in it? If it does, that is a wick & it needs a couple drops of machine oil every so often. I have an Elna 7200 and it is definitely happier if it gets oiled after every project.

If it is a self lubricating machine, do not use oil. The parts are embedded with silicone and oil will cause damage. Check your manual or call a Brother rep. to find out if you need oil anywhere if your manual doesn't say. Try a new needle usually a dull needle will make a thunking sound.
