Yes I have a Janome 360 QDC and I love it. When I bought the machine I went to the display my dealer had and got extra items such as a walking foot and also a pkg. of bobbins. I don't know if they were Janome, but what else would he sell,
Perhaps that IS my problem.,.Lets hope Iam off to a dealer close to home today. Since I just got it in August, I am still under warranty.

the generics prewounds cost approximately the same as empty Janome brand. they have "MILES" more thread on them, too. to add to my savings, i buy only those that are reusable. i now have enough bobbins to last about 3 lifetimes. :lol:
for those in the market i recommend these prewounds:

i know the bobbins look alike..but if you close your eyes and feel them, you will feel a difference..
my janomes will only work properly with the janome bobbins..
i gave all my other ones away at quilt group, because,like patriceJ, some can use them..

They do all look the same but I tried using some of my Singer bobbins in my Janome and the noise was terrible so I switched and it stopped. There has to be some small difference that we just don't see.

The owner's manual on my new Janome Horizon advises not to use the pre-wound bobbins.

And yes, i am sure that others have had no problem using bobbins from joanns..but why risk it.
spend a little money, and get the prewound package of 12 for around 9 bucks from the dealer..use them up, and then you will have the bobbins to fill yourself.
and you will love treating yourself to the prewounds!

I would never use pre-wound bobbins as someone suggested because they only come in white and black thread. Plus paying 9 bucks for 12 bobbins is ridiculous when you can get Janome bobbins on ebay.
Also does anyone use those little teflon washers in their bobbin cases? It makes mine go smoother whether I am FMQ or not. I leave it in all the time.
