How do I fix the tension on a Janome Memory Craft 8000? As I begin to thread at the top there is no tension - does not seem to be catching the tension mechanism-therefore the stitches are unbalanced. I have attempted to move the tension dial but to no avail. The complete top needle thread pulls smoothly out as if it had not been threaded. Can you help?

Tension assembly test. To do this test. Pull the thread
through the tension assembly and test it to make sure the tension is working
correctly.
(To do this test, adjust your tension setting to normal or medium or 5 or
something in the middle. Raise the presser foot and pull the thread through the
tension. It should pull easily!! Lower the presser foot and pull the thread. It
should pull noticeably harder.)
If it doesn’t work this way then you probably have a piece
of thread or lint stuck inside the tension discs. To remove it, turn the
tension to 0 zero and raise the presser foot.Using a small screwdriver, open
the space between the discs and spray with canned or compressed air. The stuff
should come out. Do the tension test again to make sure you got everything and
then try sewing again.
If it still messes up ,remove the bobbin case and examine it for burrs or scratches. Remove them with and emery stick and fine steel wool.
