What to do if my Janome Sewing Machine is skipping stitches?
Skipped stitches can occur if the needle is incorrectly inserted, bent, or blunt; consider using the stretch stitch needle. The needle and/or threads may not be suitable for the fabric, or a poor quality needle is being used; in this case, change the needle.
Why is the bobbin thread breaking on my Janome Horizon Memory Craft 8200 QCP Special Edition Sewing Machine?

Why is buttonhole sewing not sewn properly on my Janome Horizon Memory Craft 8200 QCP Special Edition?

Why does the needle thread keep breaking on my Janome Horizon Memory Craft 8200 QCP Special Edition Sewing Machine?
The needle thread may break for several reasons. It could be that the needle thread isn't threaded properly; try using the spool holder. The tension of the needle thread might be too tight. Also, the needle could be bent or blunt, or incorrectly inserted. Ensure the needle thread is under the presser foot when you start sewing, and avoid moving the fabric too fast when free motion quilting. Finally, check if the thread is tangled around the spool.
Why is my Janome Horizon Memory Craft 8200 QCP Special Edition Sewing Machine needle breaking?
