Loud chirping noises indicate a need for lubrication or something is rubbing against your carriage.

Mb4 bird nesting in back side and looping on top--- I have been using Robinson Anton thread and pre wound bobbins--i am at a loss!!

Hello, Jerry -

I doubt the kind of thread and pre-wound bobbins you use with your Janome MB4 sewing machine are the problem with the thread tangles and loops on the bottom and top of the items you are working on are the problem. Robinson Anton threads appear to be rated as high quality.

I suspect the problems are caused by the tensions for the top and bottom threads and / or how the bobbin is inserted in the bobbin holder. It is an embroidery sewing machine, is it not?

From the user manual for your model of machine:
https://www.janome.com/siteassets/support/manuals/embroidery-models/inst-book-mb-4en.pdf
on Page 81 (PDF image 84), the problem of the thread looping (last Troubleshooting issue on the page) may be caused by
- Needle thread tension too loose
- Bobbin not inserted properly
- Poor quality thread used (Note: I don't think that is the issue for you.)

I found a series of YouTube videos about the Janome MB4 machine, which may prove instructive. This is the link to the Part 1 video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VL-ikUr3tQ
In the right sidebar of that page, you will see links to the first parts of the video series. As you choose subsequent parts of the video series, you will see additional links to other parts of the video series in the right sidebar.

I also found a longer video tutorial on YouTube for the Janome MB4:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_RJ8-kY5_o
The sections of the video on inserting the bobbin (starting at about minute 14:18) and threading the machine (starting at about minute 15:17) may be helpful.

If, after making sure you know how to insert the bobbin properly in the machine and after threading the machine properly and setting the tension for each needle, you still experience thread nesting, I suggest you locate a nearby authorized Janome sewing machine service center and pay to have the machine evaluated and adjusted so that it works properly.

Best wishes.

Why does my Janome mb4 keeps shredding its top thread?

Change your needle and if it continues to happen, change the thread. Most likely your needle and thread are not compatible, ie the thread is too large for the needle's eye. Also, inexpensive thread will shred.

Tengo problemas con maquina de bordar janome mb4, me distorciona el bordado. I have problems with mb4 janome embroidery machine, embroidery distorts.

If your embroidery is distorted be sure you are using the right stabilizer for the fabric you are doing the embroidery on and enough for the density of the design.

I hope that helps.

Why does my Janome MB4 Jump in mid pattern and finishe 1" up or down?

This is usually caused by the y axis movement system. Occasionally this system can come out of sync, and cause the issue you described. Your y axis pulse motor may be going bad as well. In either case it would be best to take your machine to a Janome dealer for repair.

Janome mb4 restarts in different place after stop to replace broken needle

My machine is a bit different than yours but there is a way to back up your Janome 10 stitches at a time. Here is a thread that I initiated at the janome embroidery forum that should help you. Digimad included a detailed help for me. It should direct you to get you going again. Do join the forum the gals there are generally a great bunch and very helpful.
