    Why is the bobbin thread breaking on my Janome MOD-100?
    • S

      The bobbin thread may break because: * The bobbin thread is not threaded properly in the bobbin holder. * Lint has collected in the bobbin holder. * The bobbin is damaged and does not turn smoothly, so change the bobbin. * The thread is wound loosely on the bobbin.

      Your Janome Sewing Machine might be noisy because thread has been caught in the hook race, or lint has built up in the hook race or bobbin holder.

      Your Janome Sewing Machine may not work if it is not plugged in, thread has been caught in the hook race, or the bobbin winder spindle is not returned to the left after bobbin winding.

      Seam puckering may occur on your Janome Sewing Machine if: * The needle thread tension is too tight. * The needle thread is not threaded properly. * The needle is too heavy for the fabric being sewn. * The stitch length is too long for the fabric; make the stitch shorter. * A stabilizer is not used when sewing very fine fabrics; apply a stabilizer.

    Why is the fabric not feeding smoothly through my Janome Sewing Machine?
    • J
      Jessica LongAug 27, 2025
      The fabric may not feed smoothly in your Janome Sewing Machine if the feed dog is packed with lint, the stitches are too fine (make the stitch longer), or the feed dog is not raised after “drop feed” sewing.

    Why is buttonhole sewing not working properly on my Janome Sewing Machine?
    • L
      lindajohnsonAug 31, 2025
      If buttonholes are not sewing properly on your Janome Sewing Machine, it may be because the stitch density is not suitable for the fabric, interfacing has not been used for stretch or synthetic fabric (apply an interfacing), or the buttonhole lever is not lowered.

    Why does the needle thread keep breaking on my Janome MOD-100?
    • C
      Crystal LambSep 3, 2025
      The needle thread may break due to several reasons: * The needle thread is not threaded properly. * The needle thread tension is too tight. * The needle is bent or blunt. * The needle is incorrectly inserted. * The needle and bobbin threads are not set under the presser foot when starting to sew. * The thread is either too heavy or too fine for the needle.

      David GarzaSep 7, 2025
