Thank you Valera. I had been using the lock key when I first got the machine but had fallen out of that practice. Didn’t realize it would move the machine.

Re: Questions about 550e
Thanks for all the hints. Got my machine for Christmas and have not got up the courage to oil it. Guess that will be on today’s agenda. One thing to occupy my time during this stay at home time.

Your machine is a high-shank one. All the Janome machines that can do embroidery are high-shank.

The 500e and the 550e machines (and the HD9) are exceptions to the “Do not oil your Janome machine“ rule. If you look at pages 60-64 of the 550e owner’s manual, you will see the oiling

Re: Questions about 550e
When threading the 500e/550e you should lock the machine. Then lower the foot. Then look in the lock window for the ok. If you don't see it turn the hand wheel.
Here is why you lock the machine. If

Now Hump Jumper
Kathy, do you put the hump jumper in front of the foot, like from the front towards the back of the machine?
I have an S9 and have lots of trouble sewing over thick seams, etc.
