How to Thread a Janome Sewing Machine

[@paigeemilychampion]

I was ready to tear my hair out after squinting at the diagrams in the instruction book for 30+ minutes. I did it first time with your tutorial! Thank you so much

[@T.a.z.z.O]

ThankGod for youtube and these saintly ppl

[@jenniferfriedlander2159]

Is this the same for a different Janome machine? I have QC6260

[@broiledhobbit]

You're a gifted teacher; your demonstration is very clear. I just bought a Janome 6500P, it's my first sewing machine, and I'm lost. Thanks to you, I can at least thread it.

[@bean0615]

I’m not seeing enough because I have to watch this every time I sew! Clear and concise. Thank you so much!

[@nancyconfalone1405]

I have had a Kenmore for over 35 years. It has served me very well but is getting tired. I have always liked the Janome machines . So, I am looking to replace mine with one. Since all machines have a style all their own I needed to look into any differences. This was very helpful. Thanks so much.

[@Tixylixx]

Wow, Thanks for this. I got a Janome Sewing machine for Christmas, and being a complete newbie, I didnt have a clue. I would NEVER have figured it out from the instructions! Thanks to this vid I am now sewing! Hooray and Thanks heaps!! Laura x

[@dgeneeknapp3168]

Yes, the instructions in the book are as clear as mud, aren't they?

[@suecampbell2496]

Thank you so much. Just purchased a new Janome machine after 30 years with my very old one. This tutorial helped a lot as "things have changed" in that time. While the lighting was a bit dim in parts, being able to stop the video and go over it on the machine is great. The marvels of technology. Thanks so much.

[@annrenteria1]

I just bought a Janome DC5100. I needed to see this video rather than read the instruction manual. Wonderful video. Thanks so much. Now for more lessons. I can hardly wait. Beats paying for lessons.

[@linaelvira]

Had to borrow my mother in laws Janome machine as my own sewing machine had broken, but she didn't have a manual. Your video has saved me a million mishaps from trial and error as my own machine was very different to thread from the bottom! :) Thank you!

[@SimoraCheeks1]

Oh my gosh!!! I seriously needed my sewing machine for a home DIY. I haven't touched it in years and could barely recall how to set it up let alone thread it!! Your video is the best 7 minutes I've ever spent on youtube!! Thank you so so much for this wonderfully clear and concise video! I didn't even know I had an auto threader!! =D Sooo happy!

[@Kurachan27]

Listen I did a very smart thing this Christmas and decided I was going to hand sew a teddy bear for my friend in another state since she always makes me beautiful gifts. This was extra smart because I’ve never sewn anything in my life, except a pencil case in high school for textiles - a class I failed. Getting down to the last day and I hadn’t finished sewing so I figured I’d borrow a family friend’s machine while she’s away (permission granted). All went well initially as the bobbin and thread were preloaded for me - but then I had to do it myself. Despite the manual I continued to have a nasty issue trying to pick up the bobbin thread. All this to say THANK YOU. So so much. I watched this slowly and realised where I’d gone wrong in the process and was able to finish sewing the bear. Assuming I can stitch the last pieces together and add a face before tomorrow night I just MIGHT manage to get it done for Christmas. You saved me, thank you!!

[@lesmessbucilova2732]

I just got my Janome Magnolia machine today. I've unwrapped it and started reading the manual and it wasn't easy to see how to thread it. I found you on you tube and watched your video. Thank You, to see it up close was a blessing. Now I'm going to go try and thread my machine. Thank you again for this video

[@Yzabeaux1]

I LOVE💖 YOUR TUTORIAL!👍👍👍👍 I HAVE A JANOME AND HAD NOT USED IT IN YEARS. I FINALLY GOT THE URGE TO SEW AGAIN AND YOUR TUTORIAL HELPED ME TREMENDOUSLY, DEAR SOUL. 👍👍👍👍💖💖💖💖 THANK YOU EVER SO KINDLY FOR THIS WONDERFUL VIDEO!!😉😉😉👍👍👍👍👍💖💖💖💖💖

[@northcoastize]

Just bought a Janome DC2050 & for such a moderately priced sewing machine it has a lot of bells & whistles. I am extremely happy with it. Thanks for your video to reinforce the written instructions. The threading was a bit different to my previous Brother machine!

[@csk2248]

i went to a sewing class today with my new machine, me being someone whos never used a sewing machine before, and the lady went verbally over these steps a dozen times and i took nothing in - i have ADHD so it was like teaching a brick wall 😭 then i went home and watched this tutorial only twice and i finally learnt how to do it! THANKU GIRL FOR THE SLOW CLEAR TALKING AND VERY CLOSE VISUALS ❤️ i may have jammed the machine a cuppla times but hey i got there in the end :^)

[@paulinetyson2998]

oh well 🤨

[@MsWatchdog]

This is the best youtube tutorial I have come across for sewing! it really is for the inexperienced beginners! I was having problems with my Janome! just recently brought it and I could not for the life of me thread the dam thing let alone do the bloody bobbin, but watching her step by step guide I feel I have accomplished something and I feel like an intermediate now..Lol thank you so much for this

[@EasySewing4Beginners]

Oh great to hear it’s been helpful for you. It’s an old video with poor lighting, but I did my best with what I had at the time 😁

[@naomiweed6408]

Thanks so much for this vid! I haven’t touched a sewing machine in nearly 20 years and it is NOT like riding a bike. Haha. I learn a lot easier by watching rather than reading a manual. I’ll be saving this until I get the hang of it!

[@shakynatheshakyna8869]

OMG. It took a minute to find, but your video saved me a-lot of headache. I had no idea I should’ve searched for videos before I purchased a Janome. All this time and your video is still relevant. Thank you so much. 💙🙏🏽😘💙🙏🏽😘

[@tinamrankin1154]

Thank you so much, you have saved my life. I took a beginner sewing class 2 months ago and forgot everything...you rock!

[@kareemat.845]

Thank you soooo much. Just got my Janome Magnolia 7330 based on a few videos, one of which was yours. Haven't sewn since jr. high school. Walked right thru this video successfully. (Tried to do it myself with the owner's manual and had a huge thread mess). I will be saving this video in my favorites. I am sure I will need it a few times more....at least. Thank you again sooo very much.

[@alandavenport2992]

having never threaded a machine before(wife away) this was the video -having looked at too many others that got me sewing. THANK YOU

[@SakuraEtsu2007]

Thank you for this video! I just purchased a Janome S7 and I could not wrap my head around the drawings in the manual. Your explanation was very clear and easy to understand. And thank you for including how to wind a bobbin and the needle threader. I will be checking out more of your videos. Thank you. 🙂

[@EasySewing4Beginners]

Oh great! Glad I could help 😁

[@petebowman6275]

I watch this video nearly every time I run out of thread (4x 'sew' far) I am very grateful you posted it.

[@EasySewing4Beginners]

Happy I could help. Sorry about the quality of the lighting. This was one of my first videos I made 😬

[@donaldenglish3037]

very nice thank you very clear and not a lot of unnecessary talking the close up was very helpful

[@robynobrien3099]

I bought my machine and left it sitting for a week after unsuccessfully following the instructions booklet...Thanks to you I can now use my machine! :)

[@EasySewing4Beginners]

Excellent! Great to hear! All the best with your sewing :)

[@carlydoehler2291]

I’ve watched several videos and still couldn’t get the needle threaded using the fancy threader until I watched you do it. Thank you for getting up close and for verbally providing some extra information! I had no idea there was a hook that went through the needle eye. I’m sure that seems like a no-brainer, but I couldn’t see it!! Thank you!

[@aliciamariachanel7942]

Couldn’t agree more! Excellent video.

Clear, comprehensive, and pleasant instructions! Thank you!

[@stevekeith611]

Omg hands down the BEST tutorial!! I’ve watched a bunch and almost skipped this because it wasn’t my exact model but it WORKED!! Every other video their hands are in the way so u can’t see anything!!! Lol. You’re amazing thank you!!!

[@kiztorres3218]

Fantastic! I've just unpacked my new Janome (with instructions in Japanese!) and following your tutorial I've managed to thread it on my first attempt ... I haven't sewn in 25 years. Wish me luck!

[@cinderellataylor]

I was having the hardest time threading my DC5100 that I got for Christman. This helped me so much, Thanks a bunch

[@janecourtland5132]

This is the first video I’ve watched that I understood. Thank you so much.

[@victoriachark2549]

Your tutorial is seriously the BEST! So easy and quick to the point. Thank you for making this video!

[@MrProFaen]

Thank you for a really clear and simple video. My recently found old 2nd hand Janome is a bit different but your instructions were great and close enough to my machine. Now I just have to teach myself to adjust tension and sew!

[@ericabonetti6649]

Thank you for the hands on guided treading of the machine. This video was very helpful to me.

[@BonnieKampmeyer]

I have a new Janome DC4030P machine, and I was able to figure everything out, except how to use the automatic needle threader. The illustrations in the book were just confusing. After watching your video, I was able to do it easily. Thanks!

[@amandag3783]

Fantastic video, easy to understand, lovely to hear an Australian voice! I found it very simple, and I hardly sew at all. Thanks for sharing your expertise!

[@turtlefeesh]

Thank you soooo much!! My sewing teacher gave my class a threading test and you had to thread everything in under a minute 😧 But this helped A LOT 👍👍👍

[@veritygail]

Excellent!! Just what needed for a reminder after 35 years of not sewing. Applause!! and Standing Ovation!!

[@robbysebala5389]

Aloha, Diana! Greetings from North Baltimore, MD! Thank you very much for your tutorial. I agree on a former reviewer about having better lighting during the tutuorial; however, the information you presented step-by-step is greatly appreciated & valuable. I am a recent retiree as of 31 December 2018 & have always wanted to learn how to sew. My brother-in-law (an expert tailor) presented me w/ a Janome Memory Craft 2400 for the winter holidays last year, but went through showing me the setup so quickly (second nature for him in his extensive experience) that I didn't remember the fine details. Your video lesson clarified in much, much more detail the location of the numerous guides, how the bobbin is loaded, how the needle is threaded, in which way the bobbin thread winding should be going when inserting the bobbin into its compartment under the bed plate, and especially how to slowly connect the spool top thread and the bottom bobbin thread correctly to get ready to actually sew. I specifically want to learn how to sew in order to design & repair my parafoil kite & their various kinds of tails which are made out of rip-stop nylon. In high winds, the hems and seams on the kite tails particularly need reinforcing from time to time. At least now, I can handle basic stitching to support my favorite leisure pastime. Your tutorial has enabled me to avoid lugging my machine to/from my local fabric store for beginner lessons. Thank you for the helpful information! Robby of Maui

[@jadeross9333]

Thank you!!! I was struggling so much, but your tutorial was easy to follow and instructional 😊

[@EasySewing4Beginners]

No problem at all. Glad I could help. If you ever have any questions or sewing problems feel free to contact me. All the best for your sewing adventures!

[@lornegottschewski6166]

Thank you, this video helped refresh my mothers memory for threading her machine.

[@brendaboo94]

THANK YOU!!!! First timer here and I couldn’t figure this out, your video helped me do it!

[@Unyamurdle]

You are a life saver (I was going to kill my old sewing machine) until I saw this you actually showed how to do the bobbin part correctly thank you!!

[@EasySewing4Beginners]

Thanks. Glad you didn't kill your sewing machine LOL!

[@pennybramwell5441]

I had no idea how the thread was passed through the eye of the needle but watching this video, I investigated the two hooks further and found a tiny little metal hook that went THROUGH the eye of the needle to catch the thread. it is easy after a lot of use, then a long period of not using it ,to forget little details like the rotation direction of the thread from the spool. Excellent and thank you. I seem to have a problem with my generic type spools, sold for Elna and Janome machines plus others. Maybe it is the winding drection, so I will check that out now. Very annoying as I use the same colours again, and find that the spool just will not thread up on one or other machine. Tried separating known spools that work, but soon forget! Generally very pleased with the Janome sewing machine but the overlocker went wrong far too quickly and have nowhere to take it locally for repair!

[@johnd942]

Brilliant! Well done with clear and patient instructions; loved it!! Thank you very much.

[@jannewton1494]

The clearest instructions. Brilliant,thank you.

[@deborahelliott3376]

Thanks I was struggling to follow the handbook instructions on how to use the needle threader. Your video helped me achieve threading the needle 🤓👍

[@EasySewing4Beginners]

Oh great to hear 😁

[@jaimiebuchanan4671]

Thank you - that was the perfect video! I'd watched one before that and I couldn't see what was going on as it was out of focus and the camera was not showing where the thread was going. Your vid helped me thread my machine step by step for the first time - marvellous! :)

[@shirleywhite9533]

Thankyou so much! Really easy to follow as you showed everything clearly as you went along. I’m new to sewing and this really helped.

[@petrapennington6561]

Very Helpful! So much better than trying to figure things out using the manual. Thank you Thank you Thank you!

[@EasySewing4Beginners]

My pleasure. It would definitely be more helpful if Janome has a manual with photos rather than drawings. When I was learning how to sew the diagrams may have well of been of cartoon characters because they didn't make any sense to me!

[@alien_aura]

Thank you ! I haven't done any sewing for years and was struggling to remember how to set up the machine , thanks for the video big help

[@snow42girl]

Thank you!!! I had my first "get to know your sewing machine" class the other night, a precursor to "beginning sewing" and the instructor started with "OK now go ahead and thread your bobbins and let's learn zippers" and I about fainted. She was patient with me but THIS helps me actually practice for next week.

[@animallvr25]

Thank you so much for making this video! I lost my instruction manual and I couldn't figure out how to make the bobbin thread be threaded! Thank you so so much!

Thank you very much for your lovely comment! Teaching is what I love to do and seeing people learn is just amazing. You've got an awesome machine there. You'll definitely be able to create some great things. All the best with your sewing adventures! Just ask if you get stuck with anything :)

Thanks so much for showing how to use the automatic threader!! I just got the Janome DC2013 and the manual is not very clear on this. Thanks again for slowly and thoroughly explaining the process! I'm sure it'll become second nature before long...

[@lindajones653]

I haven't sewn in so long that I had completely forgotten how to thread the machine. I had purchased it in 2008 or 2010, then promptly stopped sewing, so I had forgotten anything I might have known. I could threaded my old machine with my eyes closed. Thank you so much for the tutorial. Now to make masks.!!!

[@EasySewing4Beginners]

Glad I could help! All the best with sewing masks 😊

[@AT-hv7ev]

This was brilliant thank you, would never have worked this out from the instruction book

[@EasySewing4Beginners]

I agree! I've seen the manuals for Bernina and they are much clearer to understand with photos to illustrate the instructions. Janome should invest a bit more time and money in developing their manuals so they're as good as the machines.

[@andywinslow7791]

I tried watching another video on how to use this machine but got frustrated and almost punched my wall. Then I found this video and I was FINALLY able to get my machine running. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can finally make some curtains for my adorable underwater themed room :)

This is an excellent video. You are so precise and instructions clear. I have found today that my top stitch on this machine is perfect but the bobbin thread would appear to be too loose and not the same tension as top thread. What can I do since there is no adjustment on bobbin. Thank you Margaret. I have not had this problem before

[@SamVallentine]

Ohmygoshthankyousomuch! My mum's in Fiji and the bobbin thread ran out! Helpfullest video ever!!

thanks a lot. I needed this for my textiles class and it was so helpful

[@EasySewing4Beginners]

Wow. Thank you! Glad I could be such a big help to you. The auto threader is pretty handy once you know how to use it. I didn't really know how to use the auto threader with my first sewing machine and thought there was something wrong with it. Really it was just the fact that I wasn't using it right. It does help when you can see someone else do it first. Happy sewing! Let me know if you need any help with your sewing ventures.

This was really informative as I need to do this for homework! Thank you!!
