Well, that didn't work either! I'm getting too frustrated with the machine to work on that particular quilt for awhile. It's really aggravating because it's just sewing a bunch of squares together. It's not like I'm asking it to do anything too complicated. I bought the machine in April and it really hasn't been used that much. And honestly, this is part of the reason why!
Thank you for your suggestions. It makes me feel better to know that I'm not the only one having this issue with the Janomes. Maybe I'll go work on something on the MC.
