My janome mx 3123 sewing machine isn't locking the thread when sewing . There is either something wrong with the machine or I am threading the machine wrong.

If u r new to using sewing machines please take some ones help who knows using any machine. You obviously are not fixing correctly. It should click in right place and the machine shd be able pull the thread before u begin stitching.

This is a symptom of winding the bobbin to tightly with a stretchy thread (poly or nylon). I would break bobbin to remove it rather than risk damaging machine
Replacement button may still be available, it is really just a tiny push switch and can become faulty.

1/28/13 - I have Janome Harmony 2049 that was initially sewing forward with no reverse and then after about 12 inches of sewing would ONLY sew in reverse. After spending an hour getting the plastic housing off...I was able to locate the shaft that made the reverse. It needed lubrication and after working it in and unjamming the part from the down position, the forward and reverse now work! Huh, right? Hope it continues to work well. It is a smooth running machine, otherwise. Good luck!
