means the machine is out of order

usually just turning the machine off for a few minutes & then turn it back on,,I've had to do that myself

try sewingpartsonline.com

if its like the 8000 and 9000, you unscrew the metal part that clips onto the foot, and attach the plastic embroidery foot ( P?) instead. It does not just clip on like other feet. the screw holds the embridery foot in place

I think it's time to oil your machine. Take a look at you user's manual and clear out any lint (fluff) before adding special sewing machine oil to the moving parts.

soemone else said this meant the bobbin was winding; good luck

others have suggested it means youa re winding the bobbin, so check that the bobbin winder lever is not moved to a winding position

Your presser bar (what drives the needle up and down inside the housing) or connecting rod (which connects to presser bar) maybe bent.

Or, it could be that one of the bed shafts has become bent.

The damage depends largely on where the fabric got "crammed" into.

Unfortunately, this likely requires a visit to the service shop for a professional diagnosis of damage and repair charges (if repairable).

Wish there was better news, but your machine has been damaged mechanically beyond user adjustments.

It sounds like you may have the wrong even feed food. It should be a simple task to put on. the packaging on the foot should say its for Janome horizontal bobbin machines.

Turn the power off and replace the needle with a new one, making sure the install is as described in the manual for your machine - on most newer models, this is with the flat side of the needle shank facing the back of the machine.

Before turning the power back on, raise the needle to it's highest position. Remove the face plate, bobbin and bobbin case. Clean the area in and around the shuttle from lint and/or threads that may be tangled there.

SP means the bobbin winder is engaged. Move the spooler (where you put the bobbin when you wind it) to the left and your display will go back to normal.

Open the slide plate and see if you have a lever to drop the teeth down, if you don't then the machine will probably use raised plates.

It should move a little so the thread has clearence. If the thread is bunching underneath, it usually means the thread's not in the take-up lever or top tension is too loose. If you're needle has hit the bobbin case and created needle marks, the thread can get caught... in which you'd need to replaced the bobbin case.
