  Emily MckeeAug 30, 2025
  Seam puckering on your Janome Sewing Machine can be caused by: the needle thread tension being too tight, the needle thread not being threaded properly, the needle being too heavy for the fabric, or the stitch length being too long. If the stitch length is too long for the fabric, make the stitch shorter.

  Gary HarperSep 4, 2025
  If the fabric isn't feeding smoothly through your Janome Sewing Machine, it might be because the feed dog is packed with lint, the stitches are too fine (make the stitch longer), or the feed dog isn't raised after “drop feed” sewing.
