  If your Janome Sewing Machine is skipping stitches, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the needle is correctly inserted and is not bent or blunt; replace it if necessary. Check that the needle and thread are suitable for the fabric you're sewing. For stretch, very fine fabrics, and synthetics, use a blue needle. Also, verify that the needle thread is threaded properly and that you're using a high-quality needle.

  If the needle thread breaks on your Janome Sewing Machine, several factors could be at play. Ensure the needle thread is threaded correctly and that the needle thread tension isn't too tight. A bent or blunt needle should be replaced, and make sure the needle is correctly inserted. Also, confirm that the needle thread and bobbin thread are properly set under the presser foot at the start, and that the fabric is drawn to the rear when finished.
