Janome 4900
janome memory craft 4900 – top thread getting caught?
I have a janome memory craft 4900. The top thread is getting caught and it won’t sew. As far as I can tell the thread is not releasing off the hook race and winding around it and the bobbin holder. How can I fix this? It was surviced within the last 8 months.
Whenever I run into difficulty as described, I rethread and also
take out the bobbin and re-place it.
Also, take out the bobbin casing and clean it and put a
drop of oil in it. Often the problems are with the tension
of the thread and bobbin. I have had minor problems with
prewound bobbins. Sometimes they are little loo large.
All I do then is cut a little of the cardboard off all around.
Works fine.
You may also replace the needle. It may be a little bend.
Good luck.
