Yep, I have Jamones too and the same trouble :-(

I call it machine vomit!

I was thinking of getting a Janome machine .... you are making me think twice...

Every now and then I have a problem with birds nests and I think it's because I don't check tension when changing stitches. I try to keep cool, but I have lost my patience every now and then. Then I remind myself it must be something I am doing because I am the one operating it. Start over and try again. Then it works fine. I have the Janome MC6600 too.

Not all Jamones that I know of. I can only vouch for the QSA which I'm guessing there aren't too many left. They were made in 2009 for the Quilting Soc of Amer. (At least that was what I was told lol)

I've never used a QSA but the 6600 is my absolute all time favorite. I LOVE that machine!

Maybe try bobbin genies.

I have a Janome 8000 and a new Horizen and have not had any trouble. I clip the thread after about turns,also. Sometimes I do have a problem with a bobbin that does not load properly. It winds too loose, not sure why, but I know it is something I am doing wrong.

I would call a Janome dealer and ask them why you can't finish a bobbin.

I have a 6600 and a Memory Craft 4800, and have not had that problem you described. However, right now I'm using my 4800 in Florida, and sometimes when I fill my bobbin the needle itself goes up and down (so I end up not filling the bobbin as fast - I don't want to overwork the sewing mechanism). But then, sometimes it fills properly.

Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong??

I have had my Memory Craft Janome 3500 for 6 years and love it!!!!! I am going to up grade to a 6600 in a couple of weeks but keeping my MC3500. I want a deeper throat for my own machine quilting and a few of the other newer features but I still love my original one and won't part with it. I've never had that problem with the bobbins.

I love mine and have had great luck with my 3500 MCraft. I am going to upgrade to a 6600 after Christmas only because I want some of the new features and the deeper throat and am keeping my smaller one. They are a tough little machine.
