My face is sure red right now! The foot is hitting the darning plate and that's what's making the noise. I took a piece of material and folded it several times and was putting it between everything that moved that could possibly touch something else. When I put the folded material between the inside edge of the foot and plate the sound stopped. The 3 layers of the quilt isn't thick enough to stop the noise. I ordered 2 new feet this morning so I'm hoping maybe they won't make that annoying sound! If they don't then I guess I can wear earplugs when I want to quilt. LOL!!
