Troubleshooting
You can correct many problems on your own. If you need addional help, contact your local, authorized
Janome retailer. You can also contact Janome technical soluons at (800) 631-0183 or email
custrel@janome-america.com..
First check the following:
1. The AC power cord is properly connected and both power switches are turned on.
2. Conrm that all cables are properly seated into their connecons.
3. Turn o the machine completely. Wait for at least ten seconds and then turn it back on.
If the above checks did not solve the problem, refer to the informaon below.
Skipped Stches Correcve Measure(s)
The needle is damaged, dull, bent, or
installed improperly
• Replace the needle oen, normally once or twice per day for
connuous quilng or at least once per quilt. Use only the
recommended needle system.
• Always change the needle if the needle has struck any hard object such
as a pin, etc. The p of the needle can become damaged or burred,
resulng in fabric damage as well as skipped stches, thread breakage,
or shredding
• Always change the needle if it has been hit, bumped or pulled o center
while maneuvering the machine over the quilt. A slightly bent needle
can be a major cause of skipped stches.
Incorrect needle size • Use the proper size needle for the work and thread being used. Some
bangs and fabrics used in quilng may constrict or impede the
thread passing through the front groove of the needle. This diminishes
the loop required for stch formaon. Typically, a larger needle will
solve the problem. However, using certain smaller sizes of needles and
ball pointed needles solve some specic problems. You will need to
experiment to determine which works best with your combinaon of
fabric, thread, and bang.
Fabric is too ght on the frame • Loosen the pole tension on the frame. Fabric that is tensioned too
ghtly causes the bers to separate and the fabric to bounce while
quilng. This reduces the needle fricon on the thread, resulng in a
smaller thread loop.
Thread tension too ght • Check bobbin case tension and then check top thread tension.
(For more informaon about adjusng tension, see Bobbin and
Bobbin Tension and Easy-Touch Tension™ in the Using Your Machine
secon of this manual.)
Improper threading • Ensure that the machine is threaded correctly. Refer to the
on-screen threading guide if needed.
