I am not a happy camper at the moment....I went to sew today and the first thing I did was break a needle....and now it will not hold a stitch...and it will not pick up the bobbin thread....I have a Janome quilters companion 6019 anyone have suggestions on what it could be. I have taken off the plate and cleaned it out...there was lots of dust bunnies living in there....

Check to see if there is a burr (rough place) on the bobbin case. If there is you might be able to smooth it with a piece of emery paper. If that doesn't work, you may need to take the machine in to your dealer for repair.
Just read the rest of the messages and see that you are sewing again. Glad you got it to work.

i had a similar issue with my machine not catching a stitch, or it would stitch a few and then break the top thread. frustrated i left it alone and sewed all weekend on my back up machine...when i was thinking about it yesterday i realised all the bad things happened when after i changed the needle ...turns out i put the needle in the wrong way... maybe check to make sure the needle is facing the proper way?
