Try to work out the single hole plate if you're getting fabric stuck in the hole. I don't bother to use the single hole myself most of the time but it's good to have it in case.

With the bobbin, make sure the little tail that you hold when you start winding the bobbin is trimmed right back. When the bobbin gets low, that tail can get caught and twisted with the thread that comes off as you are sewing (I had this happen)

What foot are you using that it gets stuck on? Do you have the new O2 foot. And have you tried the Accufeed feet? I simply love the accufeed system. There are additional feet you can buy..like the Accufeed 1/4" foot. Also, try sewing with less pressure on the presser foot. I sew generally with it on about 3 or 4.



Also, anyone with this machine, or contemplating getting it, can join the Yahoo JanomeHorizon 7700 group. It's a great group and there's lots and lots of information and help there. I joined before I bought my machine.
