I have serveral Janome machines and can use Aurifil, Connecting Threads, Missouri Star, and Craftsy (older spools). Have you checked the tension dial for a burr? You can try threading the take up lever in the opposite direction...go right to left instead of left to right. I've read where this can help. Are you using wool batting on your rescue mats? If so, try a needle with one size larger eye as that is what I use for my Kennel Quilts. Also make sure you are leaving a long enough tail to start sewing with and that the thread has been pulled straight behind to the rear of the pressure foot..
