MORE Q's I've been stitching on my green Godzilla today, what a sweetie but the knee pedal is giving one of my thighs a work out. It's a trick to sit close enough so I can work the knee pedal & still be lined up for the sewing but it's easy to do. It has a beautiful stitch, easy to thread but seems to be working too hard and has a deep throaty hum instead of a light happy hum. There's a vibration that has gotten better as it's been used but I just don't care for the sound which doesn't exactly seem to be from the motor. I've played around with the presser foot tension from all the way down to practically off and it doesn't seem to effect it. When there is no fabric to sew, it works much easier so I thought the presser foot was too tight. It makes a cute little hopping motion that is easier to see w/o fabric but works with fabric. If I have the machine tipped at a 45 degree angle so I can watch what the bottom is doing, it seems to run easier. I think I need to replace the motor rubber wheel. So any ideas about why it seems to work harder with fabric in it and how hard is it to replace the motor rubber wheel? You can see that it is grooved pretty good.
