janome horizon series machines work best with Organ brand needles.
(organ also makes the needles that are branded "janome.")
a friend and i were both having problems with thread shred and breaking while doing free motion.
after we did some research i switched to an Organ brand needle and all the problems disappeared.
rather annoying, since i have a huge collection of types & sizes of a different brand - which perform nicely in all my other machines. LOL
luckily, the organs are less expensive so it hasn't broken the piggy bank to start a second collection.
your choice of 60wt for the bobbin is a good one.
so far, no matter what i use on top, i get the best results with 60wt in the bobbin.
