What size lettering are you using? You can try smaller lettering or a larger hoop. also try going to edit then clear.

If this is happening during embroidery, please make sure the presser foot is in the down position. With the embroidery foot on, it's sometimes hard to tell. The check spring in your upper tension may be bad. You won't be able to fix it yourself. Take it in to your local repair shop. The last option is to remove the needle plate and bobbin case. Turn the screw on the front 1/4 turn to the left, no more. If this doesn't help, leave it alone and take it in to the shop.

I'm pretty sure you just swing open the lamp cover and the bulb will be right there. It just pulls out. This is a halogen bulb and will be spendy (over $20).

If it squeaks when you are embroidering and not when you are sewing, it's the belts on the embroidery unit. From use, they can become glazed, slick and then they squeak. If it squeaks when you are doing either, it's more than likely an internal lubrication of the machine that needs to be done by a trained technician. Cheers, Kelly Embroidery Services San Diego, CA

may have a fuse blowen may be inside

Hello Hazel The Memory Craft 9000 is a computerized sewing machine. In removing the casing precautions must be taken to prevent damage to the electronic boards which are costly to replace. As a result it is recommended by the manufacturer (Janome) that this work be performed only by qualified technicians with the required equipment to prevent any damage. What is the reason for requiring the casing to be removed?

can you explain more about the noise it is making ? maybe something is caught some where else

sure you can trade it in but you would be better off selling your self the dealer may give 200.00 for it if you buy a new one from him

Electronic at times, when they set up for a long time go bad, especially when packed away. Camera's are known for it. Take it to a shop before making any decisions about it. It could be a simple cap that needs replacing.

Tension depends on so many things. Material thickness, right size needle, thread,bobbin etc . If it is none of these things then you need a technician.Best wishes

is it just the fabric that is gathering or the bobbin thread also ?

I had the same problem with mine I had to take it in for servicing

Unfortunately you are probably not going to be able to fix this. It needs a sensor adjusted (probably), or a component replaced.

you need to loosen the top tension. if you notice the tension is too loose on top and bottom at the same time then go ahead and tighten the bobbin tension a small amount. then you can adjust the tension of the top. if the top thread tension is too tight the thread from the bobbin will penetrate through. the opposite is true. if the top is too loose then too much of the top thread will penetrate the fabric underneath. remember to get the tensions between the top tension and bobbin tension equal so the knot will end in the middle of the fabric.

are you sure it is in all the way and it is far enough away from your table so it is not catching on anything ?hope this helps

have you tried a dealer or look it up on goggle .

can you take it a part and check and make sure there is no thread wrapped around the inside.

I'm so sorry but with the screens it needs a professional I know you want to repair it by yourself but you could actually cause more problems. You need a Janome dealer or a dealer that specializes in screens.

That is a job for repair person, screens are sensitive you can ruin your whole machine.
