When sewing I am getting a clicking noise with each stitch. I have change bobbin etc. What is this?

Have you installed a brand-new needle? Usually, a bent or damaged needle will make strange noises. You can probably open the bobbin area and hand-rotate the handwheel and watch the needle action. Could be the needle/hook timing is off and the needle is nicking as it lowers to pick up the bobbin thread. ...

I have a Brother SE 400 that needs a new speed control (not foot controller)

I would have thought the maker could supply parts for everything they have sold. Contact them direct. Make sure your repair shop is an authorised service centre. https://www.brother.ca/en/placing-an-order

When i push my foot pedal on my Brother SE 400 machine shakes and goes into safe mode

TRY TO REMOVE YOUR BOBBIN CARRIER AND NEEDLE AND SEE IF THE MACHINE WILL MOVE SMOOTHLY WITHOUT THEM. IF IT IS RUNNING SMOOTHLY YOU KNOW YOUR PROBLEM IS THE BOBBIN CARRIER OR NEEDLE. YOU MUST HAVE THE RIGHT SIZE BOBBIN. ONCE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT BOBBIN YOU CAN PLACE ONE DROP OF OIL ON THE RACE (LITTLE TRACK UNDER BOBBIN CARRIER) AND PUT THE CARRIER IN. WITH YOUR HAND TURN THE HAND WHEEL TO SEE IF IT IS INSERTED PROPERLY SO IT ROTATES SMOOTHLY. THEY'RE IS A PLACE THAT KEEPS THE CARRIER FROM MOVING. YOU MUST BE CAREFUL TO LEAVE IT LOOSE SO THREAD CAN GO UNDER IT. IF IT IS STILL MOVING SMOOTH WITH YOUR HAND YOU CAN TRY THE PEDAL. IT SHOULD WORK. NOW, REPLACE THE BOBBIN MAKING SURE IT IS ROTATING THE RIGHT DIRECTION. I CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH TO MAKE SURE THE BOBBIN IS THE RIGHT SIZE. IF THIS IS OK THEN REPLACE YOUR NEEDLE. THE NEXT STEP IS TO GO TO YOUR REPAIRMAN IF IT IS STILL A PROBLEM.

My brother exedra e-40 #db2-b737-413

  1. In the event that changing the needle didn't determine the issue, have a go at rethreading the machine, guaranteeing legitimate pressure, and cleaning the bobbin region for any build up or garbage. On the off chance that the issue continues to happen, consider counseling the machine manual or looking for proficient help.

Brother innovis 1500 D embroidery unit starts to move then chatters and stops

Hi, the only reason I can think of is that it might be the fan belt that moves the arm that is causing the problem. Best to take it in to a professional to look at it for you. Good luck

Am helping a neighbor who has a cheap Brother sewing machine, the needle does not seem to be centered, the default is to the right. I can center it by changing the needle position.

Some machines do not have a centered needle as a default. That is just how they were made. If she can reposition the needle to the center, then that is a pretty good option. Most older machines with the offset needles default do not have a centering option. (I have an old Nelco that has an offset default--works just fine but I just have to remember that when stitching, the seam line will not be in the center of the presser foot.)
