I had the same issue. The needles broke over & over and are not the easiest to change out. I ended up selling mine. Was very disappointed.

The timing was knocked off due to a jam. This can be due to mis-threading of the top thread (presser foot up), thread caught up on the spool or spool pin or the bobbin may have been inserted so the thread was feeding in the wrong direction or jumped out of the guides. When embroidering a large item, make sure the outer area of the fabric (the amount not hooped) does not fall into the path of the needle - this will really knock the timing out of whack. Stay with the machine as it stitches so you can cut quickly the power should problem come up.

My Singer works pretty well. I have been embroidering a baby blanket and using the embroidery stitches. Sometimes the thread breaks, but it's normal when you are embroidering. Suggestion: sewing slowly works best. I am happy with my Singer.

I've never had a problem with the bobbin area. I've been using the machine a great deal in the past 6 months having made 3 full quilts and working on a 4th-and all the piecework and machine quilting that goes with that-so mine is getting a lot of usage. I had one issue with thread but I was using really cheap thread-when I changed it out to the better thread my problem went away (this was on the top end of the machine not the bobbin area). So I would suggest changing the thread, to see if the problem stops.

I use my regular needles but I have to lighten up on the tension so its not so tight and breaks the thread. Hope this helps.

You can use a little bigger but need bigger eye of needle. What size thread do you want to use? Monday phoneme. Sammy sewingmachineoutlet

Take the loose nut all the way off. Then try. I believe it has backwards threads.

http://www.amazon.com/review/R1A6VISEZLBCNK/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R1A6VISEZLBCNKLook at this review. It helped me. However, it was ultimately my 12 year old who figured it out based on the directions. She says to NOT push the trigger when putting the needle on. I don't know. Good luck! Mine is working now!

First, contact the manufacturer, and also check the exchange policy. If that fails try WD-40, back-threading and gently re-threading. CJE

I had issues all around with this this machine after about 6 tattoos.I bought new coils and new springs from Iron works because they are very good and american made by hand and use real copper wire 24 AWG. The biggest problem with this machine is that the coils are not hand wound and the wire is smaller and copper coated not actual copper wire. Sounds like your coils are too weak to push the larger needle grouping

My needle was loose and when I attempted to see what the problem was it broke off. I waited too long and couldn't return. I found out later many have had the same problem

Try putting your needle position on zero one. That should solve the problem.

Yeah you might want to send it back or call the provider. If it's not defective it may just be the needle.

It's on the instruction book page 13. Make sure you change your needle regularly. If that don't work call a Janome dealer, they are real helpful.

I have a single needle machine and it does not work. There is not enough room for the hoop to move freely for it to embroider patterns.

I'm assuming that the wood part of the needle separated from the metal base. The same thing happened to me with 2 of the needles. I used craft glue to glue them back in place. Let it dry completely before you start knitting with that needle again. Best of luck.
