What is the normal tension setting on a sewing machine?

4.5

Why is my Janome sewing machine Not Working?

Solution A: Check if the machine is threaded properly, both into the tension discs and the take-up lever. If not, re-thread the machine properly and try again. Your bobbin tension could also be off and causing this problem.

Are Brother and Janome the same company?

Like Brother, Janome sewing machines first originated in Japan. But, they aren’t as old as Brother since the Janome company was first started in the 1920s. The name Janome means “eye of the snake” in Japanese and is a nod to their creation of a new round bobbin that resembles a snake’s eye.

What do the numbers on my sewing machine mean?

The numbers on sewing machine needle packages represent the thickness of the fabric you are able to sew with the needles. The larger the numbers the thicker the fabric you can sew. Conversely, smaller numbers are for sewing finer fabrics.

Why does my Janome sewing machine keep jamming?

Jamming. Sewing machine jams usually happen because something went wrong with the upper thread. Either the tension settings need adjusting or the thread may have slipped free of a tension disc or thread guide. Both of these possibilities can cause a big tangle of thread on the underside of the fabric.
