Janome Harmony Model 3125
#1
I picked up this machine for $15 today at a yard sale. No manual. It looks brand new and sewed fine until I put in a new needle. Now it won't sew a stitch. I put the old needle in and it sews. Only problem the old needle is dull. The old needle is much longer than the new Schmetz universal needle I'm using. anyone have the manual for this machine to tell me the needle recommended? I have a Janome Gem and use the regular Schmetz needles in it all the time.

If the needle in the machine is longer than the Schmetz, my guess it is a Singer needle. But, if that machine won't sew with a Schmetz, it may be out of time. For the price of the machine, it's well worth a trip to service for timing.

Nothing about the needle being a special size. I put the old needle back in and it sews great. New needle it doesn't even pick up the thread. :? Weird. I''ll keep playing with it. I'll take it apart, for $15, it will be a good teach myself about machine guts. :D
