Why does my Janome Horizon make a crunching sound?
If you hear a crunching sound when running your Janome Sewing Machine, it could be because: * Something is caught between the carriage and the arm. * The carriage is hitting something around the machine. * The power is turned on when the feed dog is lowered.
Why does the needle thread keep breaking on my Janome Horizon Sewing Machine?
The needle thread may break due to several reasons. Ensure the needle thread is threaded properly, using the spool holder. A too-tight needle thread tension can also cause this issue. Other potential causes include a bent or blunt needle, incorrect needle insertion, failure to set the needle and bobbin thread under the presser foot before sewing, neglecting to draw the threads to the rear after sewing, moving the fabric too fast during free motion quilting, or thread becoming tangled around the spool.
Why is my Janome Horizon needle breaking?
The needle can break if it's incorrectly inserted; make sure to use the correct foot. Other causes include a loose needle clamp screw, pulling the fabric forward when using the open-toe foot, using a needle that's too fine for the fabric, or using an inappropriate presser foot.
How to prevent seam puckering on my Janome Horizon?
Seam puckering can occur if the needle thread tension is too tight; try making the stitch shorter. It may also happen if the needle thread is not threaded properly, the needle is too heavy for the fabric, the stitch length is too long, or the foot pressure isn't adjusted correctly. When sewing very fine fabrics, apply a stabilizer.
Why did the auto thread cutting fail on my Janome Sewing Machine?
Auto thread cutting can fail if the thread is too thick or if threads have been caught in the thread cutter mechanism.
What to do if the bobbin thread breaks on my Janome Horizon?
The bobbin thread may break if it's not threaded properly in the bobbin holder; in this case, change the bobbin. Lint accumulation in the bobbin holder or a damaged bobbin that doesn't turn smoothly can also cause this.
