    Hi Sharyn, I tried your suggestion and it worked for long enough to do my mending job but it keeps breaking. I'm using white but I swapped the spool in case and it's still happening. Any thoughts, please?

    • @SharynsSewingSchool
      @SharynsSewingSchool День назад

      If it consistently breaking the lower looper thread at around the same distance, it is generally a threading issue. Unthread the machine completely and rethread from scratch, working from right to left. If it is breaking at random distances, you are looking at: 1. Lower looper tension being too tight for the thread, in which case changing the thread cones may sort it out. 2. Damage to the needles. If the left needle has damage it may cause a problem for the lower looper thread, if the right needle has damage it may cause a problem with the upper looper thread. 3. Damage to loopers. If the loopers get scratched the thread will catch on them. Sometimes you can feel the scratch with your fingernail. This will need a technician to sort out. They can sometimes brush out this sort of damage and sometimes the looper needs to be replaced. Hope this helps! 😃

    • @SharynsSewingSchool
      @SharynsSewingSchool Месяц назад

      @KeithLeggett-k6e Hi, the only hoops that your machine can operate are the ones in the hoop list in the edit screen. The limit is 20 cm wide because that is how much distance there is between the needle and the body of the machine. The only way to do bigger in Janome is to get an MC15000 or a CM17. The 15k will do 23 cm, and the CM17 will do 28 cm.

      @@SharynsSewingSchool Thank you, Sharon. I'm a fairly inexperienced sewist and could not justify the cost of a Janome (yet!), so went with an entry-level mechanical machine. That allows a larger budget for fabrics and notions so that I can get more projects under my belt. I'll be looking at the Janome models once I am more experienced and am in a position to upgrade. When searching for machines this time around, I found a few that I liked at a more affordable price point, but they were not available for purchase in the US. I suppose it has something to do with whether a given model is configured for the standard electrical current in, say, the UK vs the US. But one day, I'll have a machine with more capabilities. I especially would like a machine with a lock stitch, automatic cutter, and maybe a built-in laser pointer. One day. 😄
