Janome 2049LX Mechanical Sewing Machine - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Does the 234d Finesse overlocker Have a Roller hem Plate or is it just a Setting I Need to do on it..?

SEWUSA LINK.......... they have tips on ident for your model, and many manuals too

Here's the owner's manual: 3160QDC The reverse button is immediately above the start/stop button.

go to this link and i think your manual is the first one on the page. Janome Mylock 234D overlocker Google Search

I suggest letting a competent mechanic handle this one.

The length of the needle might be too short. Compare the length to your single needles.

you can find it here choose 534D http://janome.com/en/support/retired-machine-manuals/

try these links and see if one of the manuals is the right one http://www.sewingpartsonline.com/instruction-manual-elna-2049.aspx

You may download the manual from http://www.imarks-web.com/bk/janome+harmony+2049+manual+pdf/. You'll have to sign up, but it's free.

I have a manual if you are interested. I'd be happy to scan and email whatever you need.

I am having the same problem. Initially it did sew forward, but now only sews in reverse. The large grey lever on the right front of the machine should make it sew in reverse only as long as it is held down, but mine sews in reverse only. Hmmmm....think there are many people with this problem.

Needle hitting bobbin. It is mistimed. Sounds like it is time to take it in and ask the repair shop to. "Clean, lube, check and time"

Yeah! Finally I got the Janome 2049 manual here.

Hello,

You can take the slide plate off, that your needle goes through and watch to see if the arm grabs the bobbin thread, if you can get it to pick up, than slide scissors or something flat under your needle and manually pull both threads through, replace the plate.

Your bobbin thread could be wound to tight or spliced threads on it, and your tension needs to be adjusted. If your using a pedal, try setting to a slower speed.

I would try a different bobbin and thread it manually as in the step I mentioned, if you can't see the arm grabbing it, you will need to check to see if you have loose threading jammed in youir machine, if this isn't the case and adjusting the tension dosen't help...than you will need to replace the bobbin casing.

Kind regards!

on this page look at technical support ... there is a 1-800 number and a link

Is there a dial on the right above the flywheel? This is where you adjust the stitch length on most sergers. It might be numbered from 0 to 5 or 4.


If it has differential feed, there would be a dial there for this too, possibly under the stitch length knob - it would have numbers like -1, -0.5, 0, 0.5 and 1 on it.

If you are new to sergers/overlockers I highly recommend a class, demonstration or investing in a good book to get you started as they are not like sewing machines and many of the techniques are best demonstrated such as rolled thread edging and flat lock seams.

I've borrowed he Singer book "Sewing with an overlocker", or "Serge with Confidence" by Nancy Zieman from my library but there would be other titles too.
