Janome Sewing Machine Repair Manual
Best Answer It sounds as though it's time for your New Home to have a visit with a professional repair tech. You've noted changing needle, checking tension, cleaning dust, so I'm assuming you've also followed the user manual instructions for the settings needed - after those boxes are ticked there is usually only one reason a machine won't sew - a broken or worn gear/part/assembly within the machine. Generally this isn't something that can be handled at home - a pro has the service manuals, tools, and training to work out and repair the problem. The easiest first step to correct thread breakage is to snip your thread at the spool and rethread. If you have different sizes of spool caps, are you using the correct size? Threads can tangle around the spool pin and snap.

The spool cap helps to prevent this. Upper thread tension could also be too tight. Try lowering the tension (lower the number). Are there any burrs or rough spots in the needle plate from a previous needle breaking mishap? Such burrs can cause fabric snares and thread breaks. Burrs can be smoothed with an emery board or fine sand paper. The same results can happen from a burr or other damage in the bobbin hook.
Double check that the needle size is up to the job at hand. A fine needle cannot effectively stitch denim, for example. How is the quality of the thread being used? All threads are not created equal.
Threads with excessive slubs or knots will grab and break. Inconsistent threads will have weak spots that break, as will loosely twisted threads. Use good quality thread.
Your machine will not get fuzzed up and your project wont fall apart! I do repair-refurb on mostly Singer mechanical machines - I'm not qualified to work on a computerised model. However, it does sound as though your foot control is going. But before you spend money on the replacement control, try cleaning the connection points on your machine AND the power cord.
Hopefully it's just accumulated gunk (and it happens more often than sewers realise until it happens to them and the repair tech tells them what's happened:). If that doesn't help, at least it won't hurt or cost you more than a few cotton swabs and some isopropyl alcohol spritzing (on the swab, not the actual connection points!). After the cleaning, you can try the replacement control - make sure the one you buy and take delivery of matches the voltage-wattage on your original (roll the control over, there should be a plate or sticker noting the requirements, it may be on the machine right next to the connection point). Be prepared for that not to work, however. A vintage machine, computerised or mechanical-electronic, will develop hiccups (ok, wearing out or breaking down of springs, gears, belts.) and eventually becomes a money pit, sad to say.
You may be looking at spending a fair sum of money to keep it sewing, or buying a new machine when the repair bills mount up. Best luck, I hope the fix is very simple (or inexpensive!) and you're back sewing very soon! Best Answer I'm not at all comfortable with overlockers but I did find a manual for the 734d (an updated model of your vintage machine but similar enough to be off help!) and am posting the link for you in case you no longer have the original to your machine: It's a free download, and if that doesn't help you, the only advice I can then give is to take it to a repair tech with experience on overlockers. I do standard domestic machine repair-refurb work on my Sewing 101 student machines but as above - I'm not at all experienced with overlockers. Wish I could help more than posting a link to a similar model user guide!
March 10, 2014 0 found this helpful Depending on the age and model of your machine (under warranty, or an older machine), it sounds as though the gear used to change from straight stitch to zig-zag is failing. If you have knobs-dials-buttons, the trouble could be there, too. This is a fix for a qualified repair tech if the following doesn't solve your problem: Are you absolutely certain you have everything set on the machine for zig-zag sewing? All the knobs-dials-buttons switched to the correct setting? Is the stitch width set for z-z?
Are you using the open toe presser foot? If none of that helps, it really is time for the machine to be seen by a pro. I need to find a way to repair my Janome New Home Mc7500. It sews great on medium weight, but when I sew on sheer curtains it seems to gather the fabric. I noticed the bobbin tension is very tight to the point of breaking!
How do I fix this? It has been in the shop and I was told the bobbin case needed to be replaced, but since the machine is so old the parts aren't available. I did find a new bobbin and face plate.
The machine is still doing the same thing. Can anyone help me to find a fix? I don't have the money to purchase a new machine!
