I have cleaned the machine. I have tried both

If the loops are forming on the bottom it is the TOP thread tension you need to check. Make sure it isn't too loose. Also is the needle the right type and size for the fabric? Check the stitch out on plain cotton fabric if a tension adjustment doesn't fix it.

The TOP thread effects the UNDERSIDE of the stitch and the BOBBIN thread effects the TOPSIDE of the stitch :)

Try these suggestions 1. Change the needle--use a needle that's for the fabric being sewed 2. Rethread the machine--top --make sure to use every thread guide 3. try a different bobbin--make sure bobbin is inserted correctly into the bobbin case, & make sure the bobbin is turned the correct way in the bobbin case 4. make sure the thread has not come off the thread take up lever 5. Clean under the needle plate & in the bobbin area for lint or threads

The bobbin holder is coming

Does yours look like this one? I have a Janome 6500 and I've had some issues with this bobbin holder and replaced it twice. Its held by a magnet and can be dislodged during a jam up sometimes.
tally_girl_32.jpg Have you taken the bobbin holder right out and cleaned underneath it? There might be a thread bit stuck in there that keeps causing the jamming. Take a look with tweezers and a torch and see if you can find anything in there. Also, is the bobbin holder itself damaged, look for burring and damage to the black plastic from the needle. (if there is some, try to just file any rough edges off with a nail file gently). Or buy a new case about $35 or so if badly damaged.

If you have never removed the bobbin case, then check your manual for instructions, or take photos as you go so that you can get it back in okay.

To get it out, you need to do the following. Unplug the machine, and remove needle plate, pressure foot and needle so you've got a good working area. Now turn the flywheel towards you so the rotary hook rotates while holding the metal back bit of the bobbin holder and pull it up towards you. At a certain point, it will lift up and out easily.
Clean underneath thoroughly using your little brush and tweezers making sure you take the lint or thread out of the machine area, don't blow it further in with compressed air.
Clean the bobbin case too and inspect it for any damage caused by the needle striking it when/if it has dislodged.

If your machine has a hole in the middle of the bed under the bobbin case, there is probably an oiling wick in there, give it a drop of good quality machine oil if you like, especially if you don't take it to the service guy each year. Not in the manual to oil newer machines but if there is a wick, you can certainly give it a top up.

Now put the bobbin case back in reversing the process. Your machine may have a pair of red markings on the bobbin case and the bobbin stopper that you line up. This is important, you need to get it back into the right spot.

On mine, during my last service, the tech fitted an extra little metal stopper from Janome which stops the holder moving out of position and seems to have resolved the issue. Mine would always jam up when I was trying to sew just a bit too much thickness of fabric so probably operator expectations causing the jam!!

I hope that I've helped out a little. If not, then perhaps take it to a serviceman and see if he has an aftermarket "part" for this model too, it has made the case on mine less likely to move out of position.

My Janome one step is jamming on the first stich

Raise the needle to it's highest position and this will position the shuttle so it is the correct position for the bobbin case to be inserted.

If this is a drop-in bobbin, the line-up is easy to see. Refer to the maintenance section of your manual.

If this is a rotary bobbin, make sure to hold the lever on the back of the bobbin case out as you insert it into the shuttle. The "arm" on the bobbin case points up.

Stitch problems

You can adjust the pressure foot(not footpedal)which puts the prsure on the foot by the needle. Also try altering the stitch length. If the stitches are skipping on silky fabric or knitted fabrics try using tissue and sewing onto that directly then tearing it off afterwards.

I had the same "problem" with my new machine. I called Janome's customer service and they told me the stitch length dial needs to be on S.S. I did that and it worked!

My Janome 300e screen is frozen on the info page (Main Ver.1.00-K-001Y, Slave Ver.001, DCI Ver.1.06) Can I reset it?

  1. Power Off: Turn off your machine completely. Make sure it's not just in standby mode but completely powered down.
  2. Unplug: Disconnect the power cord from the outlet. Wait for about 10-15 seconds to ensure all power is drained from the machine.
  3. Plug Back In: Reconnect the power cord to the outlet.
  4. Power On: Turn on your Janome 300e and see if the screen is responsive now.
If the issue persists even after performing a reset, there might be a more significant problem with the machine's software or hardware. In such cases, it's advisable to contact Janome customer support or a certified technician for further assistance. They may provide additional troubleshooting steps or recommend servicing the machine.
