Janome ENX24.needle tension will not adjust.

If your Janome 805 sewing machine is having trouble sewing through batting, there are a few things you can try:

1. Use the right needle: Make sure you are using a needle that is appropriate for the thickness of the batting you are using. A needle that is too small or too dull may struggle to penetrate the batting layers.
2. Adjust the tension: Experiment with adjusting the tension on your sewing machine. If the tension is too tight, it can cause the fabric and batting to pucker, while if it's too loose, the stitching may come out uneven. Refer to your sewing machine manual for instructions on how to adjust the tension.
3. Use the right stitch length: Adjust the stitch length to a longer setting, which can help the needle to penetrate the batting more easily.
4. Try using a walking foot: A walking foot can help feed the batting evenly through the machine, which may help prevent bunching and puckering.
5. Use a sharp blade to trim the batting: Before sewing, make sure the edges of the batting are clean and even. Use a sharp blade to trim any frayed or uneven edges.

If none of these tips help, it's possible that there may be an issue with your sewing machine that requires a professional repair.

1. Is the needle bent or worn--replace
2. Is the needle inserted correctly into the needle holder--check needle
3. Is the Serger threaded correctly--rethread
4. Is the presser foot pressure right for the fabric--adjust

use a scrap piece of fabric to sew on as you adjust the tension
when the tension is to loose adjust one number higher till stitch
looks good

replaced

You have adjusted the tension? aligned the needle? Bobbin moves freely? Needle height is adjusted properly?

Sounds like a tension problem. Your machine should have two tension adjusters. One for each needle. The book that came with your machine will tell you how. Another possibility is a bent needle.

Rule of thumb: Fast needle, slow hands. This should help. GiGi

Are you checking the simple things such as making sure you have the presser foot up when you thread and the tensions set between 4 and 6, bobbin in the correct way round and tension enough to pull the thread through with some resistence.

Hi,

There is an adjustment on the side of the black bobbin case.

Remove the needle plate, to gain access to the case. Lift it out, noting how it is positioned! On the side of it , there are two screws, one is the adjustment screw - its the one that sits out more. To increase tension, turn it clockwise 1/8th of a turn, reassemble and test sew. (make sure the top thread tension is back to where it should be). Repeat if required. DO NOT adjust too much at a time!

Good luck
