Are you sure that the needle and the foot are in the up position before you thread the machine? That can have an impact.
Recommend resetting the tension to default setting, and rethreading the machine with a new thread and a new needle. good luck!

Was it a demo machine? Sometimes people play with the tension. I had to turn my Janome all the way around 3 times and then set the tension. It has worked ever since. Do you have a store close by that you could call or drop by for some advice. Generally Janome people are very helpful.

Hi I have this machine and have had no problem with it, I love mine, I use the cone thread on mine and it works just fine, your thread may be to big so try a different thread and see if that works for you. I sure hope that you will get it figured out soon and get back to quilting. Let me know if I can help you again. Grannyp

THANK YOU LADIES. I took all your advise. Changed the
needle, the thread and the bobbin. Changed the tension
setting. Had to go down to a little below 2 and now it
works perfect. One of the things I really like about this
message board and newsletter is the learning experience
thru all of you willing to share your talents, skills and
treasures with the rest of us. Again thanks.
