  If the needle thread keeps breaking on your Janome Sewing Machine, try the following: First, make sure the needle thread is threaded properly. Then, adjust the needle thread tension. If the problem persists, replace the needle if it is bent or blunt, and ensure it is inserted correctly. Also, make sure both the needle and bobbin threads are drawn to the rear when you start sewing, and draw the fabric to the rear when you finish. Finally, consider changing to a heavier or finer thread suitable for the needle.
