Janome Memory Craft 9000 Computerized Sewing Machine Questions & Answers
My machine is skipping stitches
Lower the pressure on the feed dogs, use a stretch stitch, and longer stitch length. Be sure to use a good quality thread, and maybe go lighter weight thread.
I have a new Janome
Since your machine is relatively new, it is probably still covered under warranty.
I have a Janome 15000 when I guilt it leaves eyelashes on back how can I correct the problem
Are you doing free motion quilting? You need to tighten the upper tension to eliminate those eyelashes. Also, if you are moving the fabric too fast for the machine to keep up, you will get the eyelash effect....Also, if eyelashes tend to occur more when turning curves or corners, slow down moving the fabric when doing those movements. The machine needs to keep up with your movements.http://www.generations-quilt-patterns.com/sewing-machine-tension-troubleshooting.htmlhttp://www.quiltersclubofamerica.com/groups/fear-no-more_fmqers/pages/loops-eyelashes-and-birdsnests.aspxhttp://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1/help-eyelashes-t179288.htmlhttp://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1/help-eyelashes-t179288.htmlhttp://www.superiorthreads.com/blog/2015/8/what-causes-eyelashes/
When I move my needle to 4.0. Or 4.5, the needle now moves to far over to the right.
The needlebar position is off. You may want to take it for service.Do you like this machine? You've used it for several years, know how to use it, etc. What does a general service cost? Perhaps $100-150. So where would you find a replacement machine for that amount? It is generally recommended that machines be serviced once a year, so you have saved enough over the years to afford a service call. IMHO, I'd rather fix an older machine that I love than buy a new machine that doesn't work as well as the old one......
Why when I sew the fabrics not advance even if the claws are raised and the machine does not stop sewing. I have to close the switch
With the issues you are experiencing, it may be wise to take it for service.
Even though the feed dogs are raised, are they actually moving forward and back as you stitch (remove the thread, raise the presser foot, rotate the handwheel, and watch the feed dog action)? Check that the stitch length is set long enough that the feed dogs will be moving the fabric rather than sewing in place. Another thing to check is whether there is a pressure adjustment for the presser foot. If you are sewing light weight fabric, sometimes the pressure needs to be increased so the feed dogs are able to grab the fabric.
As for the machine running on, it could be a multitude of issues, ie the foot control, electrical... This may be something that a professional should evaluate.

Leaking stickey resin around lable
I just bought a one owner gently used machine and it had the same issue. I thought when I saw it the lady had spilled something on it. I brought it home and realized it was like the glue that held on the label was oozing out. I used Goo Gone and it cleaned off with a little elbow grease.
Feed dog on Janome 9000 will not come up
Have you cleaned it recently? There could be lint, dust, threads stuck in the area that are preventing the feed dogs operating. If that is not the cause, then the machine should probably be taken to a professional for service.

My janome 9000 won't sew forwards it just moves on spot
Make sure the stitch length is set higher than 2. Also make sure the feed dogs have not been inadvertently dropped for darning. If the feed dogs are up and moving back and forth, they are working okay but may have a lot of lint and dust inhibiting them from biting the fabric.
Are you sewing very fine or slick fabric? Frequently, that will cause the fabric to slip under the presser foot. Check your machine to see if you can adjust the pressure on the presser foot. If not, then try laying a piece of wax paper or vellum with the fabric. It can be easily removed after stitching.
