He probably can if he takes the time to do it. My machine will not run unless there is thread in it, and he doesn't sew. That is part of the issue. I have to be there to rethread it and "sew-check" it.
Do you have a warranty left on your machine? If so, letting your husband play with the machine, will void it. The needlebar squeaking on my machine was inside the head where the needlebar met the shaft. But, that may not be your issue at all.
