I have a Husqvarna 750 Platnium. Now and then I notice a clicking sound (not the sound of the bobbin going round either), a little more heavy clicking sound while I'm stitching. I tried taking out the bobbin case and cleaning out under all that. I changed the needle, I am thinking now I might change the thread. At the moment I am using an 80/12 needle, I had a 90/14 in it but it was getting dull, so thought that was the problem.. I only have 80/12 needles on me right now until I head to the sewing shop next. Could the needle size be the problem?
As mentioned I'm about to change the brand of thread. I had on one of the Connecting Threads thread, but now I"m going to go back and try the Gutterman. Anyone have any further suggestions what could be happening here? |
Have you oiled it lately?

I'm just afraid the sound might be something that could damage my machine.. I would be LOST without it!! I would have the nice friendly men in the white coats come to take me away to a nice padded room!

well well well.. I'm not amused... after changing the threads, it seems my machine is being picking and doesn't like the Connecting Threads thread. it clicks!!! I put the Gutterman thread in and its as smooth as butta!!!!! sigh.. and those threads were soooooooooooo economical compared to the gutterman. :( Well with all my connecting threads I can still use them on my little Featherweight.. She is not as picky!!!
My machine can be contrary some times!!!! I guess my question now is, can using a thread that makes this clicky noise cause mechanical problems to your machine, or just give you an annoying clicky sound? |
If you were sewing on batik or hand dyed fabrics those can cause a "clicking" sound if your thread is too thick.
It only cost me 120 mile round trip but no bucks to find out that little trick. Of course, the tech still thinks I need stronger meds. |
Sometimes if you have a dull needle or a little burr on your needle it makes a sort of clicking noise as the needles goes through the fabric.

My machines book says after 3 or 4 hrours of sewing. I dont do it quite that often but still fairly often. |
I think with all the sewing you do Aggi that you should oil it more often.
|
I have a Husqvarna 415 Freesia. And I was told never to oil it because it was self oiling only have it seviced ounce a year. I have had this machine for 7 years now and no problems yet knock on wood.

It may not really have been the thread - it might have been a need to re-thread because there was a bit of lint or loose thread stuck in the works.
I would hate to think your nice machine couldn't handle different threads! |
Now see I didnt know that about the self oiling!!! Boy that would be nice!!!
|
I was told to oil my machine (bobbin area) every 4 bobbins or so along with the twice a year cleaning and lubricating. I've been doing that it is purrs like a kitten.
I do it so often because I generally sew 5 or 6 days a week. |

I would hate to think your nice machine couldn't handle different threads! yes, I too read in my manual and also from selling husqvarnas they don't need to be oiled. I will try that Connecting Threads thread again some day to see if my baby will be nice or throw another hissy fit!! In the meantime, Fabricville had a sale on yesterday, buy 1 thread, get 2 free.. so I bought the big 1200 yard spools of the Gutterman thread. My baby likes those :) Thanks so much for all your comments and suggestions! |
