Who makes this machine - Speed Queen AWS52NW Top Load Washer

Hello, Shirley -

Making buttonholes for clothing you are constructing varies depending upon the make and model of sewing machine.

Some sewing machine have built-in buttonhole making features, with a buttonhole foot which can be attached. Some machines require a buttonholer attachment.

Without knowing the make and model of your sewing machine, it is a challenge to advise you properly. You can add the make and model of your sewing machine by choosing Comment and typing in the information.

One thing you need to keep in mind when making a buttonhole: The actual opening should be 1/8 -1/4 of an inch larger than the diameter of the button.

Best wishes.

What model sewing machine do you have? That will make it easier for us to recommend a bobbin.
ALSO, very important to use the small brush they give you with the sewing machine and clean out the bobbin area of all the dust that builds up. If you do not have the brush with the machine, you need a make up brush or a small think brush that looks like this below. Sewing machine parts are made to fit very closely together and even the smallest amount of dust and dirt build up can make the machine operate improperly and make that thumping noise you heard. Good luck Walter.

all washing machines make some sort of noise LG make a washing machine that is a direct drive no belts or pulleys less vibration these seem to be a lot quieter

if this is a water cooled machine, the head pressure flow controller need to be replace/adjusted.

• Hi,
• Try these:

1. Balance the load
   
2. Level the machine
   
3. Inspect the water pump for a blockage
   
4. Inspect the coupling
   
5. Inspect the transmission
   
6. Adjust the drive belt tension
   
7. Check the motor bearings
   
8. Check the drum brakes
