I hope you can figure out a way to proceed but if not, there is nothing wrong with using your walking foot and straight stitching.
Currently using a darning foot with the feed dogs down. I've done everything I could but can't seem to overcome those problems. At times it's ok, and at times things just go haywire. Perhaps it's really the problem with the Janome which some people have been talking about on this forum.
I've asked the service centre about adjusting the bobbin tension but they've advised me against it, as I would need to readjust it back when I change to regular sewing.
I don't think it's an intrinsic problem with Janome machines, I think it's a question of getting used to the idiosyncrasies of your particular machine. I was having problems with mine and went onto the Janome help site which solved all my problems! I lower the pressure to 2 and set the speed to half - plus the other things I have already mentioned in my previous mailing. Don't give up!
