@tanvimore4528 the machine I was using for this demonstration belongs to someone else.

@@cassandrabills5458 you are very welcome.

@alpacamomdotcom Thank you. You are exactly the kind of person I want to help. Hopefully, you will become good friends with your machine and get plenty of use out of it.

@Barbara-iz7bp There is a balance, and getting too helpful with lumps and stretching can cause problems.

@@TravellingTorunn Anything of an appropriate height can work. Even a packet of needles 🪡 😉

@SharynsSewingSchool that is very true 😊

If it consistently breaking the lower looper thread at around the same distance, it is generally a threading issue. Unthread the machine completely and rethread from scratch, working from right to left. If it is breaking at random distances, you are looking at: 1. Lower looper tension being too tight for the thread, in which case changing the thread cones may sort it out. 2. Damage to the needles. If the left needle has damage it may cause a problem for the lower looper thread, if the right needle has damage it may cause a problem with the upper looper thread. 3. Damage to loopers. If the loopers get scratched the thread will catch on them. Sometimes you can feel the scratch with your fingernail. This will need a technician to sort out. They can sometimes brush out this sort of damage and sometimes the looper needs to be replaced. Hope this helps! 😃

@@SukhyDhillon Thank you 😊

@@katecourtney7358 did you need to know how to re attach a foot to the machine?

@maryannwomack532 Thank you. 😁 Whilst I really enjoyed using the M7, I don't have access to one at the moment. I am filming a CM17 now, and there will be some overlap with the M7.

These "fonts" are very useful!

@@papercents you are welcome.

@@kaydalby5125 I am very glad to hear that. The 5027 is a great manual machine. Cheers Sharyn

Glad to be of assistance!

Glad I could help. The hand quilting threads are a real trap!

@brendapp64 If you mean spacing between rows of letters, I can do a video on that! I arrange rows of text in the edit screen. Thanks

@ that would be great

@solefertilityreflexology4529 glad you found the solution!

@maxineiles6806 There are many fun things in the machines if you know where to look.

@blueeyes4071 glad you liked it!

@@trinathrower8356 Thank you 😊

@KeithLeggett-k6e Hi, the only hoops that your machine can operate are the ones in the hoop list in the edit screen. The limit is 20 cm wide because that is how much distance there is between the needle and the body of the machine. The only way to do bigger in Janome is to get an MC15000 or a CM17. The 15k will do 23 cm, and the CM17 will do 28 cm.

Thank you for the comment. The Edit screen is one of the most important features of these machines. New video in about six hours!

@@radhapwr there are so many fun things to play with on sewing machines.

@@maxineiles6806 Thank you.

@NicoleMillar-p1h That switch is an absolute killer and so easy to overlook!

Hi Christine, I think this series of videos will be a pretty good resource for anyone who owns one of these machines. Cheers Sharyn

1 Formating an empty usb stick before downloading designs onto it. 2 Finding the total stitch count for the machine not just a design.

1. I showed formatting in the settings video. It is on page 2 of the common settings. 2. Having spoken to my technician... He wouldn't tell me! Where it is located, there are things that can be done that render your machine inoperable. 😉 Best to leave well enough alone. If you really want to know, ask your Technician to give it to you when they are servicing your machine.

@@SharynsSewingSchool Thanks Sharon. I wasn't overly interested in the stitch count, I just noticed a few "For Sale" ads with the sellers mentioning the stitch count and just wondered....

@fiberjazz glad it helped. Is your new machine a Janome? I have experience with those threaders. Certainly, some have a trick to them.

@@SharynsSewingSchool Thank you, Sharon. I'm a fairly inexperienced sewist and could not justify the cost of a Janome (yet!), so went with an entry-level mechanical machine. That allows a larger budget for fabrics and notions so that I can get more projects under my belt. I'll be looking at the Janome models once I am more experienced and am in a position to upgrade. When searching for machines this time around, I found a few that I liked at a more affordable price point, but they were not available for purchase in the US. I suppose it has something to do with whether a given model is configured for the standard electrical current in, say, the UK vs the US. But one day, I'll have a machine with more capabilities. I especially would like a machine with a lock stitch, automatic cutter, and maybe a built-in laser pointer. One day. 😄

@carolinekalokerinos9352 Thank you, I have been concentrating on machine tutorials for a while, but I will be doing more QAYG soon.

@@TravellingTorunn thank you!

@suzanneritchie7048 you are correct, I have completed the wall hanging now, and the vertical coverings are done too. Surprisingly, the crossovers don't get too thick. They are even less stiff if the squares are cut with just shy of half an inch, and the tape is made one inch. I try to avoid stiff fabric for the tape.

@@KeithLeggett-k6e I am glad you have been using the settings. There are lots of people who never realise that they are there!

@artjam259 hi there, the 644D is one of the ones I have, and I will do a series on it eventually. They are very similar except that the 744D has a "free arm." As a result, it is harder to clean and oil, and some of the levers and switches are a bit more complicated to get to.

@@CandiceMyers-p3l happy to assist!

@@emilyperry521 glad to help.

@@papercents I will let her know!

@historical.isolde7918 so glad it is useful for you, Suzie. Once again, big thanks for letting me use your 744D!

@maxineiles6806 yes, I will be doing the 15000. I have started a series on the embroidery only machines, and much of that will also be relevant to the combined machines.

@papercents it is a great machine, and I think this will be a lengthy series.
