time to take it to the sewing machine doctor

HI, this sometimes happens when it needs cleaning. Sometimes lint and thread gets caught underneath the sewing plate, so try giving it a thorough clean. Hope it helps.

Try searching the internet for: Make + Model + the word "Manual" or contact manufacturer support or a dealer. ...

Did you try switching it off and trying again.

It might be best to contact Janome Support or call a Janome dealer. There is probably a way to reset your machine, but that information doesn't seem to be readily available on the internet. http://janome.com/en/support ...

Consult your owner's manual to see if there are any instructions for this problem. The USB stick may be faulty or the pattern is damaged. ...

the bobbin winder spindle probably needs to be checked to see if there is a part broken or if it needs some type of adjustment

check with sewvacdoctor.com or A1sewingmachines.com and see if they can help you with a manual.

Check you instruction manual. The Bobbin goes in under the pressor foot. You need to lift or pop out the clear cover. Unsure if it is clockwise or anti-clockwise insertion. Book will tell

Caring for and cleaning a sewing machine is much the same no matter what model/make, I can't actually see a manual for yours but in general terms this is what I do. Keep it covered and out of direct sunlight when not in use, sunlight is tough on plastic shell cased machines. Also unplug the power lead when not using, just in case of electrical fusion. Each time you use your machine do the following (I do it when I start a new project, then clean before putting away in the cupboard if I'm not going to be back to it for a while): wipe external surfaces to remove any thread dye particles, lint or dust. Unplug, then lift presser foot and unscrew the metal cover plate and remove to expose the bobbin case. Remove the bobbin and then lift out the bobbin holder. (With my Janome, this is held in by a magnet and there are two markings that line up to realign the case). Brush out all lint that you can get to or use tweezers to remove, you don't want to blow it further into the machine so never use canned or compressed air. Clean the bobbin holder too. With mine, there is a little wick for lubrication in the middle of the race, add a drop of good quality clear sewing machine oil, then replace the bobbin holder and cover plate. Clean the tension discs, to do this raise the presser foot, then "floss" between the tension discs (that dial on the top front) with a piece of clean waste fabric like calico or cotton, to remove any lint or thread dye particals which can build up. I also use a felt circle under my thread spool as it helps with the thread running smoothly off the spool, I'll lift this off and clean underneath and around the back where the spool sits as the dust/dirt builts up here too. I also throw out the needle after each project is finished, a needle is good for 6-8 sewing hours at most, depending on the material sewn. If you hear squeaking or popping when stitching slowly, your needle is blunt. Also watch for burrs on the needle tip, the needle does all the work so it pays to be fussy and change regularly. And use the correct needle for the project, sharps for wovens, ball points for knits and jerseys, and the right size, ie a 60 or 70 for very fine fabrics like organza and chiffon, 80 for poplins, 90 Jeans for denim, and 110 for very heavy materials like coatings and curtain/upholstery. And keep magnets away from electronic machines, don't have a magnetic pin cushion on the free arm, not good for them.

Depending on the number of letters, you can either enlarge them in embird or some other similar program, or bring them up on your machine go to edit and using the enlargement icon enlarge them to the size you require. Good luck Sue
