Lost my sewing instruction manual when moving house. Can't remember stitch patterns adjustments. Need a new sewing manual for my Janome Decor Excel 11 5024 Thank you

Hello, Carole -

If you have the owner's manual for your Janome Decor Excel 5018 sewing machine, then you can find the diagram naming the parts of the sewing machine (page 2, English text) and showing part #22, the drop feed lever. This is the lever which controls the feed dog.

If that lever does not move either way, then there may be something jamming the feed dog (like lint) or it may need cleaning and oiling.

If you don't have the manual for your machine, see the image to which I refer here:
https://www.manualslib.com/manual/994905/Janome-Decor-Excel-5018.html?page=8#manual

See this page from the manual to find out how to clean the feed dog:
https://www.manualslib.com/manual/994905/Janome-Decor-Excel-5018.html?page=78#manual

Another possibility for the feed dog not moving is if you have your machine set to the "free-motion" or "darning" operation, which disables the feed dog.

The manual may be helpful. Try page 18:


Janome Decor Excel II 5024 Instruction Manual

if your talking about the feed dogs that they are not up and the fabric is not being feed, then check in your manual to see if you can manually move the feed dogs to the up position so the sewing machine will sew. here is a link for a manual if you don't have one

if the information about the feed dogs is not in the manual then you'll have to contact a sewing machine repair shop about having the feed dogs checked to see if there is somthing wrong with them.

I've checked several places & can't find a manual
I suggest going to the sites below & email them or call them
& ask them about a manual
sewvacdoctor.com
a1sewingmachines.com

at janome website they have a operation manual
under machines it will show different names like embroidery-sewing/quilting
look for the one that says retired
it will bring up a picture under the picture it will say machines in this catagory
it has a janome decor excell 5124

I found one for the Decor Excel Pro 5124 on the Janome website. It might be useful, as I think it is very similar to the machine you have.

I've always been able to get a free PDF downloadable manual from Janome. They are happy to send you a manual for your specific machine via email, and they've always been very helpful to me. Here's a link to them:

Hi,
I was just checking the web for information on my machine, the Janome 5018 and ran across your post. I have an instruction book, if you are still in need of one, you may email me at:
