I've been sewing with velvet. My machine is quite new and been used only a couple of times. It was it's usual silent self, sewing away happily this evening then, as I started a new piece with a new thread, it became noisy on sewing. I've tried other bobbins and threads (including what I was previously using), changed the needle and can't see any trapped threads, nor was there a sign of any. If I unthread the machine it is quiet, threaded it's noisy as if it has a blunt needle but it hasn't, it's from a new packet and appropriate for the velvet material. I can't beleive such a new machine has a problem nor one that is silent sewing when unthreaded. I've checked the manual and have threaded correctly. Any suggestions? Thanks. SB.
