If it’s recommended I would oil where the manual suggests just don’t put too much in, hoping you won’t have to next month. They wouldn’t suggest it if it wasn’t necessary. your machine may sound noisy

Is the lettering in the embroidery side or the alphabet on the sewing side?

Yes mine does the same, but I’ve noticed it happens when the bobbin is nearly finished, usually after the first low bobbin warning before it stops and refuses to carry on. It’s almost as if the machin

In the UK You can get the Acufil setup for quilting for both the 550e and the 500e. It is an extra hoop for the 12000 too. It’s a standard hoop on the 15000. Not sure if it’s standard or extra in the

Thanks Jim that makes sense. I’m off to either find or order and USB extender cable/s
