My Janome did that too! Scary! I thought for sure I'd sew a finger. It was the foot control, which the dealer replaced. Be careful!

Yes exactly. I used the knee control in HS but this is just for the presser foot. I should learn to use it. I suppose it would be a great asset when making the postage stamp quilt. The way my table is situated there is nothing there for it to get caught under. I am thinking it is due to the bar inside the control getting sticky.

Funny how stuff and critters are in your house...are you the original owner? think your place needs a 'cleansing', lol :lol: [/quote]

Yes I am the original owner. Yeah my Mom used to say we lived in the house of Lucy. You had to plug in the exhaust fan to make toast. And cats that play fetch and just nutzy things.

It makes chain pieces go so much faster, you can use both hands without one being taken with the presser foot,

I had a janome and if they didn't change the design, I think that is the problem, if I think back, I think mine got stuck a few times, I am not sure how I fixed it, know I didn't take it in, I hate getting my machines worked on, they usually mess them up.

I had a problem similar to that with my Juki TL-98. Last year, when it was new, I was sewing along and suddenly the machine started cutting the thread every few inches. There is a red square on the controller pad that you step on to cut your thread. Well I knew I wasn't doing it!!!
I looked under the table and sure enough, Tink had her rear end smack dab on the red button. I have disconnected the button so that it doesn't work anymore....but Tink still likes to sit on the controller at times....I think she just wants to see how quick I can hit the power switch....... :shock:

Kate the lab especially when she was a bit younger liked to sit on my foot, while it was on the foot pedal, which is funny when you think about it, not so funny when it is happening, she did it the other day again, she is such a horse.

It is like it is getting the signal to sew but no one is sending the signal. Have any of you had a problem like this??
Yes...I have had that all the time and finally fixed it...mine was the foot control sliding ever so slightly under a bar that is under my table. Even though first glance it looked fine. I took a piece of 2x4 and put it sideways and now the contol bumps into it and all is fine:)Best part of Janome for me is that the thread never tangles up when it's user (me!) has to figure stuff out like this:)Hope that is all for you too! I tried non skid everything...nothing worked...I have a slick concrete floor...the board...free and cheap...works!

That was the same problem I had with mine. It would slide under the bar under mine too. First time it did it, it really freaked me out.

I have a brother, so not sure how much help I'll be, but I'm thinking it may be your foot control. Hopefully they can fix it. :D
