Funny, I just started having the same problem! It started when I put on the walking foot, which I haven’t used in ages. The only way I could solve it was to take the foot off and put it back on again. Not sure if it was from the S9 or 15000, since I have 2 black accessory cases. I purchased one for my 12000, and the dealer told me to keep it when I traded it. Of course, it came with the 15000, so I put the feet for the S 9 in the extra one. The feet are interchangeable, so could that make a difference? Also, I’m now having trouble with the needle threader. Had it replaced as part of the update, and it worked fine until recently . My dealer tried it 5 times successfully before he let me take it home. Tried different brands of thread and it didn’t seem to matter. Now I try it once, and then thread by hand! Any suggestions? Thanks.
