Re: Servicing of Janome 15000

I think in future I will make sure I wipe clean the take up lever and needle before attempting any embroidery after a service. .......although I still feel it was wrong of the service mechanic to have left so much oil.

Re: Servicing of Janome 15000

Hi Judy,
If you’ve done as the dealer suggested and rubbed the excess oil away, try stitching something on a scrap of fabric that you would throw away anyway, Do a good size embroidery with inexpensive thread and see what happens. If no more oil is dripping, you should be good to go. I’ve never had this happen, but I think it could be something that might, especially if the technician got interrupted while he was working and didn’t perhaps run his cloth over the area when he was finishing. However, if there is still oil dripping after you test it again, take it back and have them look at it. I know that we sometimes get worried and rightfully so as these are expensive machines. We do need to give things a test first though before we go into panic mode. For example, yesterday I changed the thread on my Continental M7 and it made a horrible noise when I started stitching. I checked and sure enough, I’d missed the take-up lever and she wasn’t a happy machine at all. Now checking the take-up on that machine is a chore as there is NO door that opens, for my eyes that is a “probably just re-thread the machine”. I think the 15000 does a similar thing when the take-up lever is missed or pops out. My previous machines would sew on, not happily, but usually ending up in a bobbin replacement and nesting disaster and a drip to the repair man for a checkup of the bobbin race and a timing adjustment - it wasn’t fun. Let us know how you make out. Cheryl - Saskatoon

Re: Servicing of Janome 15000

My 15000 is at least 7 years and and I've been good about taking it in for maintenance annually, but it's showing it's age. A few weeks ago, I took it in early for maintenance and adjustments because I was getting loops on the back of the fabric. I mentioned the machine was louder with a grinding sound that was new. After service I was getting an error message and noticed I was still hearing the sound, so I took it back in. On the second visit, I was told the tech also oiled the needle bar area to help with the sound. The sound was much less and the sewing was good. About a week later, I was sewing binding on a white quilt and notice oil spots in a few areas (about the size of English peas). Prior to that, I had been sewing on multicolored fabric and may not have seen the oil spots.

While I never had an oil issue, I have been warned it can happen, and to keep an eye out for any excess.

Re: Lap Seam foot

Judy- The felling feet that I found were generic ones on the Sewing Parts Online website. Janome's site was acting goofy for me so I was not able to find them there- but that doesn't mean that Janome doesn't make this foot. You can ask your Janome dealer about one. And- for sure check the Foot Book app. Tracy in Nashville, TN Martha Pullen Licensed Educator

Has anyone had a problem with excess oil dripping onto embroidery after servicing? Had my Janome 15000 back from shop on Monday, used it today for the first time since it’s service and I have had oil dripping onto work area when I’ve changed thread and used threader! I have complained to the shop and they say this can happen and it’s a fine line between enough oils and over doing the oil!! They say it’s coming from the take up lever and to rub it away.....which I have now but just wondered if it was bad servicing or a normal occurrence?

Re: Lap Seam foot

Hi Judy,
I also have the BERNINA Foot 70 4mm Fell Seam Foot and Foot 71 8mm Fell Seam Foot. I don’t think Janome has Fell Seam feet but you can use any Fell Seam Feet that fit a Brother or Baby Lock machine with a High Shank Ankle that fits 7mm feet. I have these two that work on my MC15000 and MC12000 with a High Shank ankle that fit 7mm feet (https://www.amazon.com/ZIGZAGSTORM-XC2242051-Presser-Babylock-XC2242151-801H/dp/B07YLPRT7Y/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=High+shank+ankle+brother&qid=1619567103&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExRlpOR1FaSkROTkg4JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwOTM2MTQ2MjFPVVYxSTZDT1RKRiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNDg4NzU4MTU1SUEyM1hXUVNIRiZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VXD7KQH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VVBQTQL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Good luck!

Re: Lap Seam foot
Judy
Thank you, Tracy. I have the Janome 15000 Quiltmaker. I also have the foot book, but I guess I didn’t know what I was looking for. Are the feet you found generic or Janome?

Re: Lap Seam foot
Tracy
Judy- Yes, there are felling feet for low shank and high shank machines. I don't know what model Janome you want one for. I found them on the sewingpartsonline website. They have them for different widths of flat felled seams.
If you have the Foot Book App on an apple device- you should be able to find the feet also. Tracy in Nashville, TN Martha Pullen Licensed Educator

Re: Foot pedal Janome 15000

I frequently use the 12000 foot pedal for the 15000, because when I take my machine to class I don't like to carry the big bulky one.
(I should say, when we used to go to classes!) It works fine. -- Favymtz

Lap Seam foot
Judy
Does Janome have an equivalent foot to Bernina’s #71 Lap seam foot? I have seen the lap seam for used to sew on binding and would like to find a Janome foot like it.
thank you.

Joyce----Do you know how to do a binding? Like on the edge of a quilt. It could be made from a separate piece of fabric that coordinates with your muslin fabric. Don't be put off if you don't feel you could do the mitered corners that are traditional. There is another way to bind a quilt that I have adopted that does not require mitering the corners. There is a very good video on You Tube that explains this super easy method. Here is the link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJFiiACpKRA&t=358s Good luck! Kathy Strabel

Re: Foot pedal Janome 15000
I had the same problem with my 15000 foot pedal, I sent it back to Janome, and it was replaced under warranty, i had taken out the extended warranty, whilst I was waiting I used the foot pedal from my 6600P, it’s the same pedal as the 12000, I was glad when I got the replacement, only because it’s bigger under foot.

It will work, but it won't attach to the bracket with the cutter on it. As long as you don't mind using the button to cut threads you should be fine.

Re: suggested stitch?
Cat - N
If you are trying to preserve the maximum fabric size, since you only have one yard of it, you could do a 'mock serged edge' (not an official term...just my description) using the "Overedge Foot" (M, for the Janome 15000).
https://www.janome.com/accessories/sewing-machine-feet/overedge-foot/
To mask the raw edge, you could use narrow ribbon...you could use a bit of glue stick to keep it in place for sewing. You could add wider ribbon (lace, twill tape, etc.) and zigzag on the center of the ribbon with the ribbon placed with its center along the raw edge. Again, you could use glue...or pins/clips...so it doesn't move. You could also do a 'scallop edge' if you have the stitch on your machine, or a 'rolled hem' if you have a foot for that.
You can practice on some other scrap of fabric, and check out how the stitching looks on your real fabric after you've stitched an inch or so...in case you need to 'unsew' it for some other option.

There is a foot pedal on sale on Amazon for the Janome 12000.would this work on my 15000? It take a long time for my dealer to get supplies from Janome.
