To insert the bobbin case into the machine
1. Move the needle to the up position. Turn off the power to the machine.
2. Place the bobbin in the bobbin case.
3. Leave 5 to 6 inches of thread hanging loose. See page 24 for more details
.
4. To fit the bobbin case onto the hook spindle in the
machine, orient the bobbin case as shown in the photo
with alignment tab into the notch to the right. Push the
bobbin case inward until it clicks into place.
NOTE: Do not insert the bobbin case into the machine
by lifting the release lever on bobbin case. Use the
lever only for removing the bobbin case.
Threading the Machine
Janome recommends that you select and use only high-quality threads for your quilts.
To thread the machine
1. Place thread cone onto spool pin (1) at the top of the machine; insert the thread through the thread-
mast eyelet (2) from back to front, continuing to the three hole thread guide (3).
2. On the three hole thread guide, thread all three holes from back to front, wrapping as you go, being
careful not to cross threads. Threading all 3 holes is recommended for most threads. However, some
very delicate threads, like metallic or monofilament, may require less tension. If you are having
problems with thread breaking, try threading only one or two holes of three-hole thread guide.
3. Continue through the thread guide just above the top tension assembly (4).
4. The thread continues down to the top tension assembly (5).
Â
IMPORTANT:
The thread must be flossed up between the two tension discs. If the thread is not
firmly in place between the two tension discs, the thread will lay on top of the tension discs
(no tension) and thread looping on the bottom of the quilt can occur.
5. After the thread is in place between the tension discs, be sure that the thread catches on the take-up
spring (6). Then guide the thread under the stirrup thread guide (7). Bring the thread up and through
the hole of the take-up lever (8) from back to front, and then through the lower thread guide (9).
NOTE: Before threading the needle, test that the machine is threaded properly and the tension is
correct by carefully pulling the top thread. It should pull smoothly with light to medium tension.
If thread pulls freely with no tension, re-thread the machine, ensuring that the thread is flossed all
the way between (pulled up into) the tension discs. Thread through the needle bar thread guide
hole (10), this time from front to back. Almost there!
