Why are there skipped stitches at the beginning of the seam due to a too short tail of the thread after thread cutting on my Janome HD9?
- T
  Thomas WilliamsAug 26, 2025
  Skipped stitches at the beginning of the seam, caused by a too short thread tail after cutting, can occur if the auto tension release is insufficient or the needle to cutter cam timing is too early. Try these solutions: 1. Adjust the auto tension release. 2. Adjust the needle to cutter cam timing. It may also be caused by the thread drawing lever or the static cutter blade being out of position.

  If the needle thread is not being cut, it could be because the static cutter is dull. In this case, replace or grind the static cutter blade. Alternatively, the static cutter blade might be out of position, or there could be a skipped stitch before thread cutting.

Why does the needle thread tail appear on the right side of the fabric when using my Janome HD9 Sewing Machine?
- G
  Gwendolyn MeyerSep 7, 2025
  The needle thread tail might appear on the right side of the fabric because the pre-tension is too loose. Try tightening the pre-tension to resolve this issue. It may also be caused by the needle to cutter cam timing being too late or the static cutter blade being out of position.

  Louis AyalaSep 12, 2025
  If the needle thread bunches up on the wrong side of the fabric when starting a seam, it could be due to a too long tail of the needle thread being left after thread cutting. Consider adjusting the needle to cutter cam timing or the position of the static cutter blade.
