•
Replace the needle to one better suited for the thread. Use the
proper size needle. Refer to chart in Machine Needle section.
•
Move more quickly so stitches don't overlap or build up. When
starting the machine, begin moving immediately. Sewing in
one place too long will cause the thread to break.
•
Machine timing needs to be checked. Consult an authorized
Janome technician.
•
If thread is shredding at the throat plate, check for burrs or
jagged edges. Gently rub with emery cloth to remove the
sharp edge. Consult a repair technician to polish any hard-
to-reach or delicate areas.
•
Use only the needles recommended by Janome
(needle system 134, sizes 12 through 21).
•
Needle too close to hook, causing friction and possible
collision of hook point and needle (causing broken thread).
•
Needle plate damage
•
Hook damage
•
Broken needles or damaged needle bar clamp
