Fabric Fanatic
Machine clicking? Fabric not feeding--pulling, bad stiches? Help! Brother PC420
I have a relatively new machine, purchased April 2013. I've hardly used it. I am having issues with the machine making loud clicking sounds when the needle comes back up. It's catching and pulling the fabric, like the feed dogs aren't working properly. I took out the bobbin, shuttle, and cleaned the lint out. Last time this fixed the issue. It almost sounds like the thread is catching on something when it goes across the bobbin (shuttle maybe?) when completing the stitch. I'm so frustrated and don't want to bring it in for repair if it's something that I can figure out.
Is it a tension problem? New needle? Issue that needs repair? I don't know. I've only completed 2 small baby-sized quilt tops on the machine in it's entire lifetime, so it's not like it's been well used.
