rggg, stupid machine, it decided to start thumping and banging and yelling at me. Soo, guess i cant blame it, havent cleaned it in awhile. Sooo, started making bad knocking noise, so changed bobbins, still doing it, lifted face plate, cleaned out that area, changed needle, still was doing it. Soo, of course i dont have any sewing machine oil, prob why it did this to me lol. So phone hubby (he's out), ask him where the WD40 is, spent over an hour taking my whole machine apart, pulling out any stray threads and dust, and spraying oil everywhere. Soo, think i've fixed it, good enough for now. The loud thumping noise it was making has turned into just a real quiet one now. So i notice when i turn the handle, when the needle gets to its highest point, the turn handle gets harder to turn, right there, and that's when it makes the thumping noise, but oiling it helped, think i will have hubby take a look at it when he gets home, just when i was trying to have an afternoon of sewing :)
