Crunching noise followed by thread break!

[Kateo]

I am about to give up I cannot figure out what is wrong! My machine has been sitting for a long time now, I have gone through all the maintenance procedures....cleaning, greasing and oiling, yet when I try to stitch a design it will sew a few stitches the make an awful crunching noise then the tread breaks! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you

Kateo,

It is hard and dangerous to advise you because of all the possible problems. Depending on the crunching noise running the machine any further could destroy other components compounding the problem.

I noticed you had an ad to sell a machine if this is the same machine I would call a tech and just roll that into the cost. If not it could cost you even more in the long run.

Just my .02$
