I cannot help and doubt a diagram could be found with that much detail but you could try the manufacturer. I suspect that the coil had been around the screw you removed or in the screw hole.

check out this previous solution on your model Janomehttp://www.fixya.com/support/t306170-new_home_janome_harmony_2039I've looked in all the usual free manual places and on the Janome website and can't see it listed so probably best to go to the source, Janome themselves.

Ask your local Janome Dealer.....take the old one out as a sample, it is a bayonet fitting .....undoes anticlockwise

try sewingpartsonline.com

I will quit being lazy and find my manuel today...... i thought I could save time and look online. No such luck. If you have an email address I will send of fax or mail to you. I feel bad for everyone looking for it. So I will check in a few days to see if you still need it.

The raceway is the part that the bobbin case sits in

check the raceway area for stuck thread

This is the foot that comes down and holds the fabric layers under the needle.

There will be a pressure foot lever to raise and lower the pressure foot at the back of the sewing area, it usually operates vertically, although some makes have a lever that works horizontally.

The pressure foot needs to be lowered BEFORE you start stitching as it activates the top tension and also helps with the stitch formation by holding the fabric firmly as the needle moves up and down.

You can read some general sewing machine info at www.sewing.about.com too.

It has not been under tension when the seam was sewn, check your bobbin threading sequence and refer to your manual. The thread needs to click into a tension spring or similar device on all sewing machines.

For general machine tips, maintenance and help, try www.sewing.about.com - it has lots of information.

You have to thread up the machine before that can happen... Wind the bobbin first Then thread the machine properly After that put the bobbin in the bobbin holder And place it in the shuttle make sure the notch on the bobbin holder is the right way... Then all u do is wind the wheel on the side of the machine towards yourself and it should come up, quite magical I suppose...

go to the janome website

click on the machine tab

it will come up with several types you'll have to go thru each type to see if your model number is there

Just call Janome at 1-800-631-0183 and order through them, at least you know that it will be the right part. Good luck and happy sewing.

Hi
You can download manuals for some machines from the Janome site. (www.janome.com)
I couldn't find your model listed there, even in the retired machines section!
I did find this manual for the 3128, which looks quite similar. It should help you with the basics, threading etc. Hope this helps!

try a new needle

in the compartment where the bobbin goes there is a metal "L" shaped clip to the right of the bobin. you need to push it down and to the left or right (can't remember which off hand)

Hi, Liz. When you adjust your tension, be sure the pressure foot is down. The pressure foot needs to be up when you thread the machine so the thread will slip easily between the tension disks, but when you adjust the tension the disks have to be tight (pressure foot down).

There are other possibilities, but this is the best place to start running the problem down. Please let me know if this does the trick, ok, and if not, we can try something ele.


Happy Sewing
