How to Oil the Janome 500e the easy way!

I show you from start to finish how to oil the Janome 500e in a few steps, especially how to avoid the dreaded blind screw.
Things I mention in the video:
Janome Memory craft 500e www.overstock....
USB Extension Cable smile.amazon.c...

Ha ha! "Dreaded screw" is being polite. I was about ready to go postal trying to find that screw. Thanks for walking me through my first oiling on the 550e. :-)

[@santoscraftingstudio]

Tell me about it...

[@mbrech1088]

That "blind screw" about did me in! I ended up taking the bottom off anyway as I dropped the screw inside trying to put it back in. Unfortunately, I found your video *after* completing my first oiling of the system. lol - gosh - I almost look forward to the next maintenance. I put it off wayyy too long and it needed a good oil job. Oh, and I broke that little tab off the cover too . . . don't think it'll be missed. And thank you for the USB extension information. I didn't realize that could be an issue and will order a 1 ft extender. Thanks for your pointers!

YW! Thanks for Watchin!

[@rebeccalocke4217]

Very good thorough video. I am 73 and never had a machine I had to oil. Now I feel I can do this job without fear. Thank you.

[@diytwoincollege7079]

Thank you! My wife would have made me read the book. Hopefully you made a video of oiling the bobbin area also.

[@sandycorbin4631]

Thanks very much for the top about removing the bottom cover. Sew much easier!

[@santoscraftingstudio]

Happy to help!

[@Venetiacoutinho]

Txs. I followed all your instructions. It was extremely beneficial. God bless

[@brendazebrynski7128]

Now I’m not afraid to oil my machine. Thank you very much.

[@beth6085]

Thank you for showing the step to take off the bottom. I never could get that end part off with those deep set screws so I just blindly stuck the tip of the oil way down in there and hoped I got it.

[@netty3767]

Thank you so much for making this easy instead of how Janome makes it so difficult with that one stupid screw!!!! Thanks

[@Vnquilt]

Thank you so much. Very helpful. One note I would make is that since you have the whole bottom open, I think the inside arm felt can get oiled from there instead of trying to find it from the top.

[@santoscraftingstudio]

Yes, thank you. I found that out after I made the video and a few more oiling's. I was not liking the way I had to look through that slot.

[@kerrystewart7119]

Excellent video, particularly about getting the cover off successfully.

[@julieritter8087]

Excellent instruction. Very thorough, easy to follow. Thanks!

[@victorialopez526]

Awesome video! I could never do the bottom! Thank you so much!!

[@Anise721]

Thank you so much! Worked so well.

[@mnakdib4610]

Thank you very much. You did an excellent job helping me.

[@judyschlumbrecht183]

Great instructions and demo!!! Thanks!

[@kambyr]

You should see if you can find the belt that’s through the crack when you have the bottom off.

[@Lisa_Zapata]

Thanks I didn't know you had to oil the felt under the arm.

[@deelovelyr1449]

Good info where did you get thread holder from, looks like it was attached I have 400e.

[@sistergem]

Thanks

[@KBryantMediaLLC]

Well done please make more videos! ~klb~

[@kayashley4446]

There are plastic gears in bottom part of the Janome 500e that has a white grease on them do you replenish that grease? If you do what do you use?

[@judithdreitzler2398]

Thank you now where did you get that spool holder.

[@1965MELINA]

Bravissima

[@pamhinds9843]

thanks for the video. where did you purchase your spool stand from?

[@kellyandreadiazayala4509]

hello, you have a video where you change the tension discs. Thank you

[@lisahope8039]

Is this the same way to oil the 550E?

[@mrs.santos143]

I believe so. I think the 550E difference is that there is a larger embroidery hoop, so bigger embroidery field.

[@judithdreitzler2398]

want to know where you go the thread holder and how did you attach it please.

[@sandrakensil575]

Great instructions but hands/body in front of what needed to be oiled.

[@SWEETYEDIE]

Hard to see.

[@speedbully_84]

Good job of showing where to oil and how to get there, but you do use too much oil. The pool of oil on the bottom of the machine indicates this very clearly. You start the video saying only a couple of drops are needed but I would say you double or even tripled that.

[@carolwalls86]

Terrible video. Didn’t see where you were placing the oil.

[@Jonijacque]

You drag this out to much no i am confused ..

[@Jonijacque]

Boring,confusing to dark stop dragging it out

[@ObscureMiss]

No wonder this video is 40 minutes long. Could you speak any slower?

[@rebeccalocke4217]

I felt her speaking was at a reasonable pace for teaching purposes. She was very easy to follow.

[@liselottetillberg8897]

Thank you so very much! So much easier to do like this. 🫶
