How to use a basic Janome sewing machine

[@rocioconsiglieri137]

I am so glad I came across your video. My Mother in law just gifted me her Janome. I’ve always wanted to learn how to use it but really didn’t know where to start and this has been very helpful.

[@cualestupedo1]

I only just bought a Janome sewing machine yesterday. I was looking for instructions on KZbin and you were my first choice. I also subscribed to your channel, thank you very much for your video.

[@SoozInTheShed]

Ooo you’re going to have some fun :)

[@Della13]

Me too, same machine

[@TheScouser43]

Thank you. I've had a Janome 2003p (very old) for years but have mostly given up sewing. My granddaughter now wants to learn so I really needed this refresher course. I'm all set to show her now.

[@SoozInTheShed]

Have fun!

Thank you so much! Just moved back to the UK and bought a second-hand Janome. Never used this brand and it had been a while since I had used my old American one so this was much needed. ☺️

[@vtecnerd]

This just saved my day! I spent an hour trying to set up the machine with no luck, with your video I did it first time! Thanks so much! 🙏

[@SoozInTheShed]

So glad it was useful, enjoy your sewing.

[@monachoueiri5883]

Mum bought me my Jenome for my 18th birthday. I’m 35 now and haven’t used it for about 10 years. Your tutorial reminded me everything I once knew. Thanks so much, it was so straight forward and clear.

[@lilian2164]

This was very good. Got the new machine, bobbin came off as I was trying to clean and oil after 3 months. Then he'll broke loose. Tried to get tutorials on my model but was not able . Finally found this one and it helped tremendously. Thank you. Now I can continue my sewing. Learnt alot on the different stitches. Etc.

[@liliththecrestedgecko3815]

Woooowww! I used to be able to sew but I forgot. I used this video just to jog my memory. Wow it was amazing. Thank you so much!

[@luccikerri]

Thank you so much for this, it really helped me out with my machine. I had no idea what I was doing when my dad gifted me the sewing machine and now I’m sewing thanks to you!! ♥️

Thanks Sooz. I got a Janome 1560 today.Will follow your tutorials.

Yes, that’s a good thing 😁 it’s a bit like driving a car, they work relatively similar with a few odd tweaks 😁 enjoy your sewing.

[@BlueMuffine]

This actually work thank you so much but there is one specific problem that you can only sew one hole cloth bottom to top and after that the hole setting of the machine is over then you have to set it again to sew the other side so this is the problem idont know if iam the only one this happens to or everyone??

[@SoozInTheShed]

@@BlueMuffine I don’t understand what you mean….

[@BlueMuffine]

@@SoozInTheShed its that every time i sew ihave to like redo the setting of the machine like start over putting in the string and everything so icant use it to sew a like somthing at one go without redoing and putting the string in the machine and opening the bottom like ican only go once like do one side then ihave to redo the hole setting of the machine hop you understood

[@SoozInTheShed]

ahh ok, this sounds like a tension issue… or it might be your thread is just not a great one. You generally cannot just start sewing, you have to hold the thread and pop the needle down by hand to begin, try that.

[@BlueMuffine]

@@SoozInTheShed imean idont know itried everything it doesn't work and the thread im using is the same one as the video

[@SoozInTheShed]

@@BlueMuffine that shouldn’t happen. Either your tension discs are too tight or it needs a service.

Thank you so much this video helped me a lot!!!!!

[@kagomeotilia]

Thank you very much! Can you sew end of material with this, so it doesn't unrawel?

[@doverivermedia3937]

Great video ! I'm looking to learn using a sewing machine to tackle new vinyl boat seat covers. Ive an opportunity to buy a Janome JD1822. Would you recommend it ? And would your 'how to' video here also apply to that model ? Thanks, Phil ... 🇬🇧

[@SoozInTheShed]

The simpler style machines are very similar so should work in a similar way.

[@allieg99]

Thank you! I was really stuck.

[@TartantazCreates]

Thank you for this video. I have the janome 2050, it looks like yours but with no flower detailing on the machine. I managed to lose my manual and could not figure out how to get the stitches in red, or what the red part on the dial was for. Now I know. I am trying to figure out what the best way to do zig zag stitch to finish of seams. I have just started to sew my first garment and I cannot seem to get a good zig zag stitch going over the edge. It seems to be pulling the fabric and folding it over slightly, which I suppose is not a terrible thing as it will stop it from fraying but it does not look like the stitches I see on other videos. However, if I try to do a zig zag stitch on the fabric the same slight folding occurs. Other videos seem to feature digital machines and they have better control of the height and width of the zig zag. T x

[@SoozInTheShed]

A lot of machinists use a different machine for those zig zagged edge, it’s called an over locker. I wonder if this is what you have been seeing. But for a zigzag to stop fraying I usually set the stitch to the widest, and the length to the shortest. Try the closest to C on one dial and between 1-2 on the second dial. Try on scrap before committing.

[@TartantazCreates]

@@SoozInTheShed nope it is not an overlocker Ive been watching them use. It is an electronic sewing machine, with the ability to change both the height and the width of the zig zag stitch. Thanks for repsonding though, I appreciate that. I have tried every variation of the dials on scrap fabric, including different tensions lol but I will do your suggestion again and be done with it lol I guess It is all trial and error really at the end of the day and I am sure I will learn more as I do more. I suspect my zig zag stitches are probably meant to look like they do for my machine. T x

[@SoozInTheShed]

@@TartantazCreates Yes, some machines just have a basic allowance of width and length. The more you pad for a machine the more capabilities it has. If you’re just wanting to stop a fray just go over it a few times.

[@shaunamoroney3416]

Fantastic. Thank you. Looking forward to get started now :-)

[@belinda1312]

Hi great video, Can you have a metal bobbin in the case (the one with holes in it) or does it have to be plastic?

[@SueSimmonsGlass]

Plastic are generally better with cheaper machines as the metal can wear the components down quicker…. But they should fit. I’d avoid those ones that come in the multipacks from budget supermarkets though.

Sorry, I replied from my other account 😂

[@SoozInTheShed]

Check your underneath bobbin is threaded correctly, also check the top thread. If the issue still happens check your tension wheel (between 3-5) But it’s usually the bobbin is in the wrong way. (Clockwise turn for a bobbin case, anti-clockwise for a drop in)

Ahh, thats dead easy. Hold the needle in your left hand and turn the little screw on the side of the needle with either your right hand, or a 5p piece if you dont have the little screwdriver. To add a new needle you will see they have a flat side and a domed side.... flat to the back. Insert it as high as you can and tighten the screw back up.

If you like following the marks on your plate, I would suggest measuring from your needle and putting a strip of masking tape down the plate for easier viewing. I do this as I like my needle in the centre, and some machines have them off centre. Makes life a little easier :)
