Grand Quilter noise.
Hello, I have followed this board for a long time. Even thought I was registered until I wanted to ask a question but found out I was not.
I got a new to me Pfaff Hobby 1200 Grand Quilter. For those of you familiar with the machine, is the bobbin area generally noisy (growl vibration type noise)? It does it without the bobbin in it also. If I push in on the center shaft the noise quits. It is well oiled and clean. I basically know nothing about this machine other than I expect it to do exactly what I need from what I have read about its abilities. Taking it to a dealer is possible just real difficult so I am hoping to figure out if the noise is common / usual or if I need to be looking at something else as the cause.
