Troubleshooting
(Continued)
Needle not suitable for thread
• Replace the needle to one better suited for the thread. Use the
proper size needle. Refer to chart in Machine Needle section.
Hesitating too long at one point
in quilting motif
• Move more quickly so stitches don’t overlap or build up. When
starting the machine, begin moving immediately. Sewing in
one place too long will cause the thread to break.
Improper needle/hook
relationship
• Machine timing needs to be checked. Consult an authorized
Janome technician.
Damage or burr at needle hole
of throat plate or other thread
handling part
• If thread is shredding at the throat plate, check for burrs or
jagged edges. Gently rub with emery cloth to remove the
sharp edge. Consult a repair technician to polish any hard-
to-reach or delicate areas.
Wrong type of needle
• Use only the needles recommended by Janome
(needle system 134, sizes 12 through 21).
Other possible problems
• Needle too close to hook, causing friction and possible
collision of hook point and needle (causing broken thread).
• Needle plate damage
• Hook damage
• Broken needles or damaged needle bar clamp
NOTE: If the troubleshooting tips do not eliminate the problem, please consult an authorized
Janome retailer.
