Good morning, Group---- This is in response to Cat's mention of a certain color of thread not behaving in her machine. That happened to me some years back, with a non-Janome machine and Coats and Clar

Lyn---HA HA, a great idea that the Janome engineers were not able to add to the new M17 machine. But maybe they had some insight beforehand about Netflix's dramatic drop of its stock----down 35% in a

Favy-----Wacky or not, sometimes it is the smallest adjustment that solves an annoying problem!! Kathy Strabel Camas WA

Ned----I believe that the bobbin stop thingy is part of the machine, not a part of the bobbin holder. I had changed out a couple of the bobbin holders but that did not solve the problem, so that's why

Feathered Phoenix and others--- I had a similar experience about a year ago with my 500E. A LOT of noise coming from the bobbin area,bobbin jerking/jumping/backspinning within the bobbin holder. Sound

Thank you Nyssa. I have not seen anything about Hatch---will check it out for future reference! Kathy S.

I believe a post I made back in December spurred this new post by Nyssa L. I am still on Embird, but after some very frustrating things have happened. I had upgraded from Embird version 2017 on my Win

Janome Homies-----For those of you who might be using Embird for embroidery as opposed to one of the machine-branded softwares---OR-- may also be contemplating upgrading from Win 7 to Win 10: Be caref

Hello Janomie Homies---- I feel I need to make a comment about the use of "leaders". In the "old days", we never had to use leaders to keep our fabric from being eaten by the needle plate's hole. You

Mah jongg----I feel your pain. I have had that random stitch skipping. I do not have your same model, I have a Skyline 7 (known as Atelier in Europe). I frequently sew on performance stretch fabrics f

For quilting fabrics, go to equilter.com. They have a very wide selection, a nicely arranged search engine for ease of searching, good Customer service. They can be spendy, but they also have Clearanc

Virginia-- (and Janet)--Did you mean to say that prewound bobbins that are NOT Janome brand.....can cause the problems that Janet is having? I feel Janet's pain. I have had a similar problem, but with

Good morning, Janome folks--- I use a thumb drive to transfer designs from the computer to the machine. The thumb drive I have been using for a couple of years is getting a little wonky. That is, it s

Please advise if this post is inappropriate. I am beginning to think about switching from one third-party embroidery program to another third-party program. The machine-branded programs are out of my

I also believe it could be a flaw in the thread itself if you have eliminated everything else you can think of. A few years back, I had a spool of Coats and Clark poly embroidery thread that just did

Lorrie--I don't know if you will find this helpful, but I purchased the model 500e embroidery-only, about 3 years ago. Brand new, in box from a well-known local dealer. The price was $1699 and include

Cynthia---Your suggestions are all very well thought out. I just wanted to get the buttonholes project done, so I pulled out the other machine. I agree with you, I want to fix the problem overall, not

Cat-N.....Thankfully, the medical issue at my house is abating. Yes, you mention that "things change"----and that is the absolute truth. It seems like everything from toaster ovens, to refrigerators,

Thank you for your inputs. I have been away from my computer and sewing for a while due to a family medical issue. Just wanted to let you know that I did try sewing more buttonholes with my Skyline 7

Janome users-----I have received 2 replies to my buttonhole problem inquiry, and both of those replies are definitely discouraging. The bad thing is, that the last time I used the automatic buttonhole
