I use leaders and enders and also hold both threads. When my leaders are full of thread, I retire them and cut them into button sized squares for embellishing art quilts...stitch 'em down with a bead or a french knot. :P

It's not the machine that does this. If we just take the time to make sure that we hold onto the threads, make sure the first stitch goes into the fabric, use the headers and enders, all of these ideas will keep the fabric from going into the hole.

I always had this problem, then bought a Janome MC9500 and haven't noticed it at all.

i always hold the upper and bottom thread behind the needle when i start sewing so that this doesn't happen. i find when i do this that i rarely have a problem with the thread going down into the needle plate as i have some tension on the thread to hold it above it.

I agree, you need to start with a leader.

I agree, the leaders will alleviate this problem for you!
