  Bryan SchultzAug 17, 2025
  If the needle thread breaks on your Janome sewing machine, several factors could be responsible. Ensure you've threaded the needle correctly and reduce the needle thread tension. A bent or blunt needle should be replaced, and it must be inserted correctly. Before sewing, position both the needle and bobbin threads under the presser foot, and remember to draw the threads to the rear after sewing. Finally, ensure the thread is appropriate for the needle you're using.
