The underneath threat doesn't come up - Janome Hello Kitty 11706 Mechanical Sewing Machine

Stand in front of your machine and shake your fist vigorously. That's how you "threat" a machine.

Your JUKI has a thread guide inside the front door. Open that and follow the colors... Upper looper, Lower looper, right needle, left needle.

Are the feed dogs lowered? Look for a slide switch near the bottom of the machine either front or back.

Double check your threading,

1 first point to enter for tread (a).. then around little cog down and up again down.to needle thread it (b)

at A tuck on it.. make sure foot is up.. you will hear a loud click pulll thread down.. thread needle now while threaded... see that long metal horizontal plate under the machine but above the needle.. pull the thread behind it.. if you look at it you will notice the natural flow path.. you will hear a tiny click thats the sensor.. ok back to the top... where you first threaded the thread give it another little tuck you will hear a tiny click.. ok.. sensors seen the thread..

now unless your tensions are wrong.. it all should run.. with the right thread and materials.. also is the bobbin in ok? it unwinds anti clockwise.

You could try adjusting the tension on the bobbin but it rarely needs adjusting.
Have you checked that all the top tension discs are clean? Often a tiny bit of broken thread causes problems. Pull a thick piece of thread manually through all of them or prise gently open and look. Take out the bobbin case and put the hoover end in the empty space to **** out any stray threads, or shoot compressed air in there to blow it clean.
Remove the needle plate and check for broken threads underneath.
Try re-threading the whole thing and remember to keep the presser foot up as you do it to keep the top tension discs released.
I have found that a blunt needle can also cause this problem....no idea why.

Have you oiled your machine recently, perhaps something is stiff. Your manual should tell you where to oil. Good luck.

Hi. It may be that you need to adjust the tension. Put a different color thread on top than is in the bobbin and sew a couple of inches, then check. I suspect you'll find that the top thread is the one that is loose and knotting up. (It's hard to tell unless you're using two different color threads.) If that's the case, your upper tension needs to be tighter. Tighten it just a bit, then sew a few more inches and check again. Repeat until you don't see any of the top thread on the bottom (or maybe just a little bit) or the bobbin thread on the top (or maybe just a little bit.).

Hope this helps!

You will have to take the hook out unless it is a rotary hook in which case a lot of patience picking it out bit by bit.

Hello. The best way for me to assist you is to provide you with the link to a free manual http://www.singerco.com/accessories/manuals.html
once you get to that link just insert the model number which is TS380. Then look on page 10 - preparation for threading. Enjoy.

The problem is solved, it was the tension in the sewing machine. Now I know it must be always en 4. Thank you and God bless you.

Try rethreading the machine, and make sure the thread is not wrapped around anything. Then check the tension for the needles. Run a few inches of chainstich off slowly, while watching the thread and loopers make the loops over the finger. Your threads may be in the wrong position, or underneath the wrong parts to start.
