I`m confused whether you mean top bobbin or lower bobbin...You can go back to the point where it broke...Brother machines are far more simple when this happens...

What r u trying to sew? Type fabric?. Is the needle old? Is the bobbin old, chipped, dirty, set in backwards?

I did not find a specific manual for that model. Same question was asked in 2012 and 2017 without an answer on FIXYA, so it is unlikely one was readily available. Some other model manuals might be helpful to you: http://homeappliance.manualsonline.com/manuals/mfg/janome/janome_sewing_machine_product_list.html https://www.manualslib.com/manual/522797/Janome-Sewing-Machine.html There were several web sites with replacement parts, but not a manual shown using https://www.google.com to search, in case you are looking for parts.

Two things make sure your threading it in the right order. your upper looper first then your lower looper then your needles. If your doing that then change your needles and if your using cheap thread on an overlock it just wont sew right. You need to use a good quality thread on overlocks. Hope that helps

You don't lower the feed dogs on the Janome CM2200. You need the cover plate to cover the feed dogs during free-motion sewing or darning. The cover plate was included in the original accessory kit for the sewing machine. You can get a replacement from many sewing machine parts shops. One source is https://www.sewingpartsonline.com/janome-2200-sewing-machine-parts.aspx?sort.ss_cat_sort=desc&index=1 . The direct link is https://www.sewingpartsonline.com/cover-plate-janome-new-home-825018013.aspx . Some shops sell in a kit with presser feet for free-motion quilting. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

Rethread with the presser foot up.

1. Thin material needs backing. 2. Lower foot pressure. 3. Adjust top tension to four. 4. Adjust bobbin (lower) after top tension is adjusted. 5. Increase distance of stitch.

Your description made me think you have a tension problem and one review on the website reinforces it - see below. It works but it takes awhile to get it to! 4 years ago I received the Janome MyLock serger as a gift four years ago. It still runs fine, I haven't had to have it repaired and it still looks brand new, after fairly regular use a few times a month. The main problem I have with it is that I have to fix the tension on at least one of the threads EVERY time I sew with it. It doesn't matter if it's just been sitting covered on my desk, I have to fiddle with the tension every time I sit down to sew. I know that sergers are infamous for being hard to thread, but this one is the hardest one to thread I have ever come across! It's nearly impossible to get one of the threads through without having to stick a needle into the tight space and wiggle the thread through. It also was supposedly "ready to sew" the first time it was used; that was a joke, it took me months to finally have time and learn how to use it and it wasn't threaded right so I had to redo it. When you finally do get it threaded and the tension right, it runs like a champ and does a great even stitch!Less icecreammom · Reviewed on viewpoints.com

Best place to start is the local Janome dealer if you have one in town as they are the authorised dealer. Or search on sewingpartsonline.com, they carry a wide range of items too.

Is this, https://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/janome-4400-sewing-machine/601437-1000 , the machine that you have? If so, then you don't lower the feed dogs. Instead, you cover the feed dogs with the darning plate. The darning plate was among the original accessories that came with the machine. You can purchase a replacement from most sewing machine parts shops. I believe that most Janome sewing machines that use a darning plate use the same part. Here's one source: https://www.sewingpartsonline.com/darning-plate-kenmore-735801008.aspx . I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

Make sure to only thread the machine and needle with the presser foot raised.

You can change the needle position for some stitches with the needle position key (this is also the zig-zag width adjustment key). See page 13 (page15 of the PDF) of the Memory Craft 3500 manual for the list of straight stitches that can be moved to the right, left or centered. Janome has this manual on their retired machine support page: https://www.janome.com/support/retired-machine-manuals/ . It's in the Computer Models section. The current link to the manual is https://www.janome.com/siteassets/support/manuals/retired/computer/inst-book-mc3500.pdf . I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

It is possible. The lever is locted at the rear of the free arm. It is a bit like a switch. The diagram on page five of the manual shows it being operate with the left hand. Push to right to drop feed and push to left to raise feed again. https://www.janome.com/siteassets/support/manuals/economy-models/inst-book-7318-english.pdf You have to remove the extension table to reach the lever on the back of the free arm. If no switch there you need to visit a sewing machine store or call Janomefor more information
