Over time, the Brother SC 9500 computerized sewing machine begins to make a high-pitched metallic squeak when the needle rises and falls. The sound is usually the combination of two issues: 1) dust build up in the feed dogs and bobbin well; and 2) a dry joint in the needle arm mechanism that requires oiling. Addressing these two problems stops the squeaking. Let's begin!
