i worked at a lqs and could not believe how many women never cleaned their machines or oiled it..used cheap thread that would break and never changed the needle..no wonder they get frustrated and dont sew..your machine neds tlc..every 2 weeks or so clean it..oil it,and change the needle..buy the best thread you can afford and you will be luvin life..

I was thinking the feed dog has to be fixed I already imagined how many dollars would fly out of the window. In additon there is no Janome dealer around here. This morning after I got more angry than ever then I had a bright moment. How about looking in my manual in the chapter troublshooting, the fabric is not fed smoothly : the feed dog is packed with lint. Took everything apart and was very surprised how much lint was there , I pulled out a lot of junky pieces. Put everything back together...made a sample seam....oh...how nice...and how quiet the machine was working...humming like a busy bee.
My world was centered again.
Why I didn't clean the machine before...I don't know.
Now I asked everyone out there how often do you do this job ???
Was someone so stupid like me and had an aha moment before you tried to throw out of the window your machine?
looking forward to read your posts, thank you :) :) :)
