The stitch doesn't seem to be off, and the computer isn't registering a problem, but the bobbin area has a slight repetitive squeak. There isn't a lint or thread buildup anywhere and everything looks normal, but the sound is worrisome to me. Any suggestions or ideas? Does anyone know how to find a chat or support site specifically for the 8 series machines? Thanks for listening.

There is a group on yahoo for "Bernina Series 8"....I can't post the link here. Do a search for the group on yahoo.
