    What to do if my Janome is skipping stitches?
    • S
      sharon41Sep 2, 2025
      If your Janome Sewing Machine is skipping stitches, there are a few potential reasons. Make sure the needle is inserted correctly. A bent or blunt needle can also cause this issue, so replace it if necessary. Ensure that the needle and threads you're using are suitable for the fabric. If you're sewing stretch, very fine fabrics, or synthetics, try using a blue tip needle. Finally, double-check that the needle thread is threaded properly.

    Why is my Janome noisy and not running smoothly?
    • C
      Craig LoveSep 1, 2025
      If your Janome Sewing Machine does not run smoothly and is noisy, it could be because thread has been caught in the hook race, so remove the caught thread. Another possibility is that lint has built up in the hook race or bobbin holder, so clean the hook race or bobbin holder.
