Your Needle Plate Screw Is Loose The little screw that holds your needle plate in place can come loose and cause a knocking noise as your machine vibrates while sewing. ... Check to make sure the screw is tight. This is a more common problem if you must remove your needle plate to get to your bobbin case.

A KNOCK FROM MACHINE

If the machine is making a knocking noise when stitching, the first thing to do is install a brand-new needle. Frequently, bent or damaged needles will make a horrible noise. If the noise continues, you may want to take it in for service. Could be out of time.

First thing, install a brand new needle. A bent/damaged needle will frequently make noises.

Second, if it is mechanical machine (not computerized), it most likely needs a good cleaning and oiling.

If it continues to make a knocking noise, it could have a bent part or be out of time, in which case you should contact a service repair shop.

Thread got caught in shuttle followed instructions took off shuttle cover and cleaned it &shuttle.I heard a slight little knocking sound no error messages or beeps sewed fine. Can you help please?

Did you replace the needle? Sometimes the needle is damaged when thread hangs up.

You might check the oiling instructions and see if the machine may need some oil.

If the noise continues, the needle could still be hitting or the machine's timing may be off.

Thread on bobbin does not attach to needle when needle is turned down.

Depends what was causing the noise. It could merely have been the build-up of lint and thread. However, something else could be the cause.

First: Install a brand new needle. A bent, damaged, old needle will frequently cause noise because it is striking something it should not. A dull needle will also make a thunking sound as it tries to penetrate the fabric. The needle should be changed about every 8 hours of sewing...a very inexpensive fix!

Also, be sure to following the oiling instructions (if any) in your manual. Use only fresh good quality sewing machine oil and apply only 1-2 drops in each spot as instructed.

If the top thread still fails to pick up the bobbin thread, it is likely the machine has been knocked out of time. Take it for service.

My Janome magnolia is 3 years old. Last week I was sewing and everything jammed, needle went to side and broke. It was trying to run but couldn't. I took bobbin out and cleaned it, oiled everything, where...

Try the process of elimination. Take out the needle, take off the needle plate, take out the bobbin case. Run the machine. Does if run full speed? You might have to let the machine run for about 5 minutes. If it runs slow or you hear it slow down, you might have a bad connecting link between the needle bar and the main shaft counter weight. They seize up sometimes. (Shop Repair).

Singer Confidence 7463 - needle is knocking - bobbin wont thread...machine doesn't stitch - not even 2 months old

Have you changed the needle since you purchased it? A needle should be replaced every 4-6 hours of stitching so for each garment sewn as a rule of thumb. So try replacing the needle, cleaning and oiling the maachine as per the manual. Check needle is in the correct way, it is easy to put in backwards if you aren't familar with them, flat shank to the back and there is usually a scarf (cut away area) at the back of the needle which is where the rotary hook under the needle plate comes around to catch the upper thread during the stitch process. So if needle is in backwards this will cause stitching to fail.

So elimate the needle firstly.

If this fails and the knocking noise continues, then it could be that the timing has been knocked out. It can happen if you sew over a pin and hit it hard (or the needle strikes the foot if stitch setup is wrong for the foot being used). In this case, you'll need to take it back to the shop for the serviceman to fix.

Seems to be out of sync. makes a knocking sound, not catching bobbin thread.

Is the needle in facing the right way? Flat shank to the back.

The knocking sound could be your needle is bent too, have you just had a threading jam up?

I'd remove the needle plate and bobbin and threads, clean everything and oil, put in a new needle, then slowly move the flywheel manually and watch the needle action to see if you can identify where the knocking noise is coming from.

Failing that, I'd say the timing is out, take it to a serviceman. The thread's not locking is usually a good indication of this fault.

Singer sewiing machine clicking

Remove the needle , tighten the needle set screw so the clamp doesn't rattle and run the machine.This will give you a better idea of where the noise originates.
Remove the top cover and put a drop of sewing machine oil(not 3 in 1 oil) on anyplace that moves and rubs. Run the machine again and see if you still have the noise. Replace the top cover.
Open the side cover(left side) put a drop of oil on any thing that moves or rubs(Shafts or joints). Run the machine again.
Remove the bottom cover and repeat the above processes.
If you still have the problem and it is bothering either you or the machine then it needs to be seen by a technician.
