Janome Memory Craft 9500 Troubleshooting

When sewing the needle thread gets looped in the hook cover plate. It will sew a few stitches and then gets hung up. We have tried re-threading both the needle thread and the bobbin, new needle thread and bobbin thread, taking off the needle plate, and cleaning out. Any suggestions? I have tried the tension and cleaning the bobbin case.  The top thread does not pick up the bobbin thread and the bobbin makes a loud clicking sound before it beeps at me and tells me to rethread the needle.

Have you tried a new needle?

If re-threading, changing the brand of thread, etc. does not work, then it's likely your machine is out of time. Search for sewing machine timing or take it for service.

SOURCE: Janome Memory Craft 9500 Troubleshooting

The solution that I found last night was the thread tension. I have never touched the dial, only had it set on 'auto." When I started playing with it, I realized the top thread should be really easy to pull through the machine and it wasn't. I started turning the dial (to 3 or 4) and the thread slid through the machine perfectly. No more birds nest! I really thought it was bobbin initially because of the horrible sound it was making.

Janome 6500 Sewing Machine. CORRECT TENSION ON 6500 JANOME SEW MACHINE please.

Question edited for clarity.
Please don't type in all CAPS, it is considered SHOUTING and is harder to read.

Sewing machine tension is a delicate tug of war between the bottom Bobbin tension and the Upper tension to put the loop between the 2 layers of fabric. You set the Bobbin tension first and the the top tension depends on the fabric and the thread used.

Your Bobbin tension is very very loose to be not tensioning at all or the top tension is too loose.

I have memory craft 6000 janome,i have been told it could be a timing problem.how can i diagnose this

try sewing a wide zig zig stitch and check the stitch formation, is it catching on both sizes of the zig zag or perhaps only one side.

Timing out means that the timing sequence between the needle going down to its lowest point is not in sync with the rotary hook coming around behind the needle to catch the thread tail behind the needle eye.

You could also remove needle plate, sewing foot and bobbin, and hand wind the flywheel through a stitch sequence and watch the needle and rotary hook movements. When the needle is at its lowest point, the rotary hook should be right behind it.

Adjusting timing is not something I would tackle myself though, I leave that to the technician.

JANOME RX18S

If it was sewing correctly BEFORE the needle break...why did the needle break in the first place?...and what fixes did you make?
If it sewed properly...what changed?

Cut your upper thread close to the spool...make sure the presser foot is raised and pull the cut off thread section through/out of the machine from the needle area (sewing direction...do not pull the thread backwards!)

Clean out the bobbin area...remove any traces of lint or pieces of thread...look for any broken off needle pieces... brush the bobbin area out....then add a drop of sewing machine oil (but only if your manual says to oil that area).

Remove the needle plate to expose the feed dogs...brush/clean out that area too and add a drop of sewing machine oil...then secure the needle plate back on.
Replace the needle...do it again...yup...some needles arrive bad from the factory. Make sure the needle is inserted and positioned properly. Then thread the machine WITH the presser foot in raised position. (The thread needs to get seated into the upper tensions.)
..with the.presser foot down...thread the new needle.
Oh...and use the correct needle for the thread. (a universal 80/12 is standard).
Thread can cause issues too. Try a different bobbin, or maybe a different spool of thread to see if that makes a difference.
