I have a Janome 805, when I try to sew batting it comes up lo and wont sew
If your Janome 805 sewing machine is having trouble sewing through batting, there are a few things you can try:
- 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.
- 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.
- Use the right stitch length: Adjust the stitch length to a longer setting, which can help the needle to penetrate the batting more easily.
- Try using a walking foot: A walking foot can help feed the batting evenly through the machine, which may help prevent bunching and puckering.
- 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.
My thread keeps breaking on my janome 1600p-dbx sewing machine. I have changed my needle, just had it serviced but i can only free motion quilt about 6" before the thread breaks. What can I do?
- Check the thread tension: Make sure the upper thread tension is set correctly for the type of fabric and thread you are using. If the tension is too tight, it can cause the thread to break.
- Check the thread path: Make sure the thread is correctly threaded through the machine and there are no tangles or knots in the thread path.
- Check the bobbin tension: Make sure the bobbin tension is set correctly. If the bobbin tension is too tight or too loose, it can cause thread breakage.
- Use the correct needle: Make sure you are using the correct size and type of needle for the fabric and thread you are using. Using a damaged or bent needle can also cause thread breakage.
- Slow down your stitching speed: If you are stitching too quickly, it can cause the thread to break. Try reducing your stitching speed to see if this helps.
- Use high-quality thread: Make sure you are using high-quality thread that is suitable for your project. Poor-quality thread can be more prone to breakage.

I have a Janome 500e.When I use my printer cable type direct there is no embroidery file and nothing is transferred only if i use a usb stick .
It sounds like the issue you're encountering may be related to the way you are trying to transfer your embroidery files to your Janome 500e sewing machine.
To transfer files using a printer cable type direct, you would typically need to use a specific software or driver to communicate between the computer and the machine. If you are not able to transfer files in this manner, it might be necessary to check with the manufacturer or vendor of the cable to see if they can provide assistance or additional information.
In the meantime, it seems that you have found a workaround by transferring your files to a USB stick, which you can then use to transfer the files directly to the machine. This is a common method for transferring files to many types of sewing machines.
If you continue to have trouble transferring files using a printer cable type direct, you may want to consider reaching out to Janome's customer support for further assistance.

I have Janome XR-23 which worked fine last time I used it. Now it wont pull the material through the foot. I have cleaned the bobbin case and oiled, The dog feed teeth go up and down freely.
If you have already cleaned and oiled the bobbin case and the feed teeth are going up and down freely, the next thing to check is the presser foot. Make sure it is properly attached and the screw holding it in place is tightened. Also, check that the pressure on the presser foot is set correctly for the thickness of the fabric you are sewing. If the pressure is too low, the fabric may not feed through properly.
If the presser foot is properly attached and the pressure is set correctly, you can also check the tension on the upper thread. Make sure it is threaded correctly through the machine and the tension is set to the appropriate level for the fabric you are sewing.
If none of these solutions work, there may be an issue with the machine's timing or the feed mechanism itself. In this case, it may be best to take the machine to a professional for servicing.
