With the exception of the noise it seems to run fine and cuts just a beautifully as ever. To me it looks as if the noise is coming from the plastic cover that encloses the loopers, knives, etc is knocking against the other parts of the machine but I'm not sure. Is it possible that I damaged/bent something in such a way that I threw off the balance? Should I purchase new knives? (These have only been used half a dozen times). Or can I put a little felt pad in between the cover and the rest of the machine? Any ideas welcome!! Thank you!!

You may have to have new knives put in, but it's the loopers I'm concerned about. You don't want to be operating the machine until the loopers are checked, in case further damage is caused. Definitely best to get it checked over. ------ I heart Panzy, Pfaff Creative Performance, the sewing machine love of my life!

Change the needles first and if that doesnt help, stop using it and get it checked. Its more likely to be the loopers than the knives, although you could try tightening them if theres any loose screws. ------ Sew Much Fabric, Sew Little Time
