Yesterday my granddaughter and I were sewing just fine on my Janome. One piece went together just as the dozens before had, suddenly the machine made one stitch, and about 3" later, another stitch. No one had touched the machine between the two. I took out the bobbin and case, cleaned the areas (as best I could, I didn't have my kit with me). I also pulled the thread out and re-threaded the upper thread, as well as the bobbin. I took out the needle and replaced it to be sure it hadn't worked loose. I adjusted the tension, both tighter and looser. Nothing helped! Any more ideas?

Unfortunately, the emergency quilt we were working on, did not get done! Grandson left the hospital without his get well quilt. But, thank you Lord, he was only in for about 48 hours, and is doing better (even without the quilt).
