It will get loud IF the bobbin is not in 'right'...or... if there is a build up of 'fuzz' in the (where the top thread runs from the spool to the needle)...old age is making the correct word escape me!
I sew much better with this machine than I ever have---straight lines, even 1/4 in.....
And the distance from the needle to throat is awesome! Lots of room!
I really love it and I got it when it first came out!
If you have any ?????? you may just ask me or Singer has a dedicated # just for HSN customers!!!
Thanks for that thumbs up reply. I have had the walking foot on my Pfaffs for years and love it too. I have also broken a few needles until I got the bobbin shuttle seated correctly. My current Pfaff has been forcing me to do more cleaning because of lint build-up in the feed dogs.
I donwloaded the manual last night to get a head start and now I am even more impatient.
