Top 20 Janome MyLock 634D Mechanical Sewing Machine Questions & Answers

Ooh, I've heard it is difficult timing a serger because there's more involved than a sewing machine. You can try looking at videos and web sites: serger timing Google Search

It shows in the beginning pages of the manual how to assemble the machine. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0ahUKEwjHoOWmm8TYAhXDw1QKHfu9DiAQFggnMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fjanome.com%2Fsiteassets%2Fsupport%2Fmanuals%2Fsergers%2Finst-book-634d.pdf&usg=AOvVaw2nMzrZhmnL1imJDHhkHGJZ

I think I would get another opinion. Sometimes you run across lazy technicians or those who would like to talk you into buying a new machine. Of course, if your machine is older, it could be difficult to locate replacement parts, but getting that info from another technician will confirm the first opinion.

If you dont have a manual then this page will allow to to download it for free. Pretty straightforward and easy to read http://janome.com/siteassets/support/manuals/sergers/inst-book-634d.pdf

Put number jn search engine and it should come up .....634D manual .....like so

Do you not have your instruction book? It will have the instructions in it. Often there is also a diagram on the front cover flap of the machine. How far away from any sewing machine dealer are you? They should be able to show you how to thread at no cost.Let me kNow how you go.

Some machines dont need oil consult manual.

At this stage, the value is whatever the market will bear. Their is no real value in 2nd hand sewing machines or overlockers. Try looking on ebay for some guidance. Good luck

I agree with John Smeed It could be that the needle is bent or in the wrong way if it keeps on breaking it must be hitting the throat plate or it's timing may be out( a pro job) Also check the needle is in as high as it can go.

Is something jammed? Does it move at all? Pull out the threads and check all tensions for a blockage. Does it move at all when not threaded?

Im not familiar with the huskylock but I use woolly thread on both loopers with good tension and less than a medium length on the needle stitch and using the differential feed. Try u tube as there are several good links for sewing stretch.

This website has very good reasonable manuals. www.sewing-machine-manuals.com

you can try in your town and see if the is a local sewing machine shop that has classes or online, I think craftsy has some, try online classes for a serger

The needles required will be listed in your manual, if you don't have a manual then buy any needles recommended for sergers/overlockers. Or check on the Janome website.
