Members Bert51 Posted September 3, 2019 Members Report Posted September 3, 2019 I may have to try it the way shown in these two pictures, I have had no problems so far. Quote
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted September 3, 2019 Moderator Report Posted September 3, 2019 I sometimes thread my CB4500 bobbins clockwise for springy, or extra thick thread. It feeds through the tension channel easier that way.

Members Handstitched Posted September 4, 2019 Members Report Posted September 4, 2019 One other thing I have learnt about that ' clacking' sound ' , is when the very tip of the needle is just the slightest bit blunt, perhaps after hitting.... something , is that it does make that ' clacking ' sound'..... and makes me sweat a bit. Put a new needle in, and its all sweet. I wouldn't have thought that such a big heavy machine would be affected by a little blunt needle, but there you go HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called? Incontinentia.......Incontinentia Buttocks '
Members Bert51 Posted September 5, 2019 Members Report Posted September 5, 2019 If you think the needle is hitting something, take off the needle plate and turn the machine over by hand and watch your needle. You will also be able to check the timing while you do it. It takes a fair bit of sewing to blunt my needles, so just check the path of travel of the needle. Bert. Quote
