Machine help
I have a Janome 6500. I had just used it a couple days ago. And I sit down tonight to sew , and a message comes on the screen: Stop for safety purposes. I looked through my manual and checked what it said could be wrong, and cleaned it. Has anyone else had this happen? Any idea what it could be? I don't have a sewing center close by, and with bad weather being forecast later this week , I don't know when I could get there.

Switch it off. Remove the bobbin and bobbin case, give it a good cleaning.
Could be just lint. Then rethread the top also. If you still get that message
then your machine might need to go to the shop.
My machine was sewing in reverse the other day. I stopped and cleaned it
then it was fine. Weird but it happens.
Hope yours is an easy fix.
Edit: Try a new needle. Maybe it's bent and hitting something.

I did an Internet search for the message you received and found a posting that showed a manual for a Janine 4800. It said that the problem is one or more of these: 1) lint built up in race hook, 2) needle or bobbin threading is incorrect, or 3) the fabric is too thick for the machine to sew.

I have the Janome 6600 and have gotten this message once or twice. It has never been anything serious-usually a needle issue or a nest of thread in the bobbin. It is my first computerized machine and I laughed the first time I saw it.
