I just oiled my machine per the instruction manual, but now my handwheel won't turn more than about 130 degrees. There isn't any lint or thread to be seen in the machine, but I did have the ha
I figured it out: I must have missed a piece of lint on the gear shaft behind the hook driver, so when I oiled the machine it really gunked up that piece of lint to the point where it was inhibiting the wheel movement. I just worked it ever so slowly for awhile until I got the shaft to move to a position where I saw the piece of lint. Now it runs as smooth as butter.I figured it out: I must have missed a piece of lint on the gear shaft behind the hook driver, so when I oiled the machine it really gunked up that piece of lint to the point where it was inhibiting the wheel movement.

I have a Janome which does not need oiling. I can't explain this, but I've had the machine for 20 years and I clean it often, but no oiling. I found this statement below on another website: "Many new modern machines don't need oiling. Indeed, oiling can wreck them by attracting lint and dirt to the places where it can damage the machine. Check the instruction manual that comes with the machine and follow the instructions carefully. If there are no oiling instructions in the manual then don't oil the machine -it doesn't need oil. If you think there's a mechanical issue that can be solved by lubrication then take the machine to a repair shop and have a pro look at it, it could be in a place where you can't get to without a pros help -or it could be something else entirely -like build up of dirt or lint." from: http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110609192222AANV9DF
I actually had the same problem, it turned out that after threading a bobbin I'd forgot to slide the bobbin holder back into place (just push it to the left)
Hope this helps
Check that you have a new needle inseted all the way UP in the needle bar shaft threaded front to back, flat side at back of needle bar and make sure presser foot in the up position BEFORE threading to open up the tension discs fully. Make sure you leave enough thread tail to accommodate turning the handwheel toward you so that the thread isn't falling out of the needle. I would oil and lube it too when you get the chance. Here's a web site to help you with that and the timing, tension, cleaning the race shuttle bobbin area, etc. on your machine: http://www.fixsewingmachine.com I hope this helps, Rachel.Jimmy
Slacken the stop motion as if to wind a bobbin and press on the foot control, if the motor runs really fast then you have either thread stuck in the bobbin case area or you may need to oil the machine
