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.

That's Janome not Janine.

not sure why you got that. i have a Janome MC4800 and never got messages. but it doesn't like to be dirty with lint. good luck!

I have the same machine...simply turn it off and the on again. Remember to reset your setting before starting again.

Check your out your bobbin case. See if it looks frayed in some areas. If it is, lightly file the frayed area with a soft nail file.

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.

and make sure all plugs are plugged in securely.

I have a Janome 6600 and when I get that message it has been needle related... I think :) my needle is bent or just broke.

I agree with the others about giving the machine a good cleaning

I have a Janome 6600 and was wondering if your needle is in all the way. Speaking from experience-possibly just take out your needle and put is back in. Good luck

All good advice. Funny story about Janome 6600. Bought a used one for a terrific price the beginning of December.
Beautiful machine. Wanted to do FMQ so first I wound bobbins. This baby has a separate motor for bobbin winding. How great. Started to FMQ--going great for half an hour and machine has turn off for Safety Sake so I did and had a difficult time getting the quilt from under the needle. Cleaned out machine. Lots of lint due to thread I was using--connecting threads essential but sews great. Rethreaded and changed the needle. Still no go. Getting really upset. Back to the shop-what's wrong with this machine? Turns out that the thread I was using for winding bobbins got pulled up with the thread I was using to FMQ and wound itself around the crankshaft. When It was all cleaned out--it was a giant mass of thread. Lesson learned-never leave bobbin thread cone on machine when sewing. Now it sews beautifully. Hope you find out what's wrong with your machine. My shop was only a half hour away on good highway.

oh my!! I can sooo see that happening to me :) I am glad you got everything straightened out

UPdate- I took my machine in to the dealer.He said the motor was bad. Will be $325. to replace it.
