I have Janome XR-23 which worked fine last time I used it. Now it wont pull the material through the foot. I have cleaned the bobbin case and oiled, The dog feed teeth go up and down freely.

If you have already cleaned and oiled the bobbin case and the feed teeth are going up and down freely, the next thing to check is the presser foot. Make sure it is properly attached and the screw holding it in place is tightened. Also, check that the pressure on the presser foot is set correctly for the thickness of the fabric you are sewing. If the pressure is too low, the fabric may not feed through properly. If the presser foot is properly attached and the pressure is set correctly, you can also check the tension on the upper thread. Make sure it is threaded correctly through the machine and the tension is set to the appropriate level for the fabric you are sewing. If none of these solutions work, there may be an issue with the machine's timing or the feed mechanism itself. In this case, it may be best to take the machine to a professional for servicing.

Why won't fix for 'Lo' showing in screen work?

For some reason, your machine thinks that there is something in the way, and by "lo", I'm guessing it is in the bobbin assembly. Try taking out the bobbin and the bobbin case, and see if there is anything that looks bent or scratched or isn't moving correctly. Your machine is sensing something and locking up to prevent further damage. You might want to also use some canned air to blow out any fuzz or loose threads underneath. Some of the newer computerized machines can be really particular, and the slightest bit of fuzz can throw it out of whack.

I have a JL250 manufactured by Janome. the LCD display is stuck on bobbin and does not change when I change the stitch, so it's a bit trial and error. Can this be fixed or is it an expensive repair?

Hm, since it involves the LCD screen, it could be a computer component. Could be expensive, but the only way to know is to contact service.

My thread keeps breaking on my janome 1600p-dbx sewing machine. I have changed my needle, just had it serviced but i can only free motion quilt about 6" before the thread breaks. What can I do?

  1. Check the thread tension: Make sure the upper thread tension is set correctly for the type of fabric and thread you are using. If the tension is too tight, it can cause the thread to break.
  2. Check the thread path: Make sure the thread is correctly threaded through the machine and there are no tangles or knots in the thread path.
  3. Check the bobbin tension: Make sure the bobbin tension is set correctly. If the bobbin tension is too tight or too loose, it can cause thread breakage.
  4. Use the correct needle: Make sure you are using the correct size and type of needle for the fabric and thread you are using. Using a damaged or bent needle can also cause thread breakage.
  5. Slow down your stitching speed: If you are stitching too quickly, it can cause the thread to break. Try reducing your stitching speed to see if this helps.
  6. Use high-quality thread: Make sure you are using high-quality thread that is suitable for your project. Poor-quality thread can be more prone to breakage.

I have a Janome 1600P DBX sewing machine. I just had it serviced, I changed the needle but the top thread keeps shredding and breaking at the throat plate. What else can I do?

  1. Check the thread: Make sure you are using a good quality thread that is appropriate for the type of fabric you are sewing. Poor quality thread or thread that is not suitable for the fabric can cause shredding and breaking.
  2. Check the needle: Make sure you are using the correct size and type of needle for the fabric you are sewing. A bent or damaged needle can also cause thread shredding and breaking.
  3. Check the tension: Check the upper thread tension to make sure it is set correctly for the type of fabric you are sewing. If the tension is too tight, it can cause the thread to shred or break.
  4. Check the threading: Make sure the upper thread is threaded correctly and that there are no tangles or knots in the thread path.
  5. Check the presser foot: Make sure the presser foot is properly installed and that the fabric is being held firmly in place while you sew.
  6. Check the machine settings: Double-check that the machine is set to the correct stitch length, stitch width, and other settings for the type of fabric you are sewing.
If you have tried these steps and are still experiencing issues, you may want to consult with the technician who serviced your machine

How do I reset my Janome Jem Platinum after getting a co error code? It won't sew at all currently.

If your Janome Jem Platinum sewing machine is displaying an "CO" error code, it means that the machine's needle bar is obstructed and cannot move up and down properly. To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:
  1. Turn off the machine and unplug it from the power source.
  2. Open the needle plate and inspect the area around the needle bar to see if there is any thread, fabric, or other material

I have a Janome 500e.When I use my printer cable type direct there is no embroidery file and nothing is transferred only if i use a usb stick .

It sounds like the issue you're encountering may be related to the way you are trying to transfer your embroidery files to your Janome 500e sewing machine. To transfer files using a printer cable type direct, you would typically need to use a specific software or driver to communicate between the computer and the machine. If you are not able to transfer files in this manner, it might be necessary to check with the manufacturer or vendor of the cable to see if they can provide assistance or additional information. In the meantime, it seems that you have found a workaround by transferring your files to a USB stick, which you can then use to transfer the files directly to the machine. This is a common method for transferring files to many types of sewing machines. If you continue to have trouble transferring files using a printer cable type direct, you may want to consider reaching out to Janome's customer support for further assistance.

I have an error code7 and 4 on my Janome 770 qcp. I've cleaned it, and when I turn it back on it will not centre the needle.

Error codes 7 and 4 on a Janome 770 QCP indicate a problem with the needle bar and/or threading mechanism. Try checking the needle bar and ensuring it is properly positioned and tightened. If the needle bar is not in the correct position, it can cause the needle to be out of center. Additionally, make sure the thread is properly threaded through the machine, including the take-up lever, needle, and thread guides. If the issue persists, you may need to consult a professional

How do i lower the Dog feed on the Janome HC1200 sewing machine ?

The Janome HC1200 is the HobbyCraft version of the Janome 219S. This machine uses a daring plate to cover the feed dogs. This was included in the original accessory set for the machine. See the picture of the standard accessories here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1870252/Janome-219s.html?page=5#manual . https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1870252/Janome-219s.html?page=16#manual shows putting on the darning plate. If you do not have the darning plate, check with a sewing machine shop. https://coulingsewingmachines.co.uk/janome-darning-feed-cover-plate-735801008-fits-most-basic-models/ is an online source. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells
