I have a great dealer but I do not like this machine. I have contacted Janome but their advice is to take it to my dealer along with all the kinds of thread and needles I use. Really I also have used Juki, Viking, White and Kenmore and never had a problem like the. As others have said the bobbin case lifts up and then it is damaged. No apparent cause. I have been watching it when it does this. Not sure what I will replace it with but I will have to do that. Firstly although I have had it sometime never really used it. I use my Brother Innovis 1 because it is so more user friendly and mostly trouble free but while in for service I used the Janome 1. Firstly I could not transfer designs over 56 using the pc tool icon provided or by copy and paste Janome could not understand why Then the real problem begins. The bobbin thread constantly jammed the fabric in the hoop which was silk Dupion and ruined it. It also broke the needles A complete disaster and a costly exercise re the stabiliser the thread the fabric and the time. Also I dont have the software so cannot get the ready built designs out of the machine a very poor performance and a costly machine. Is there a file size limitation the Janome 1. SE can load I am trying to load a. B and of around 3. Janome MC1. 10. 00, machine was given to me as a gift and it has been in the shop more than it has been at home. The bobbin case spins and jumps out of position. I bought a new bobbin case, and I am using Janome bobbins, as well as bobbin thread. When embroidering I keep getting a false error reading telling me the thread is cut and I need to rethread the machine. I just hit the start button and it sews a little bit and then does the same thing. Am totally frustrated with this machine and would not recommend. Heya im for the first time here. I discovered this board and I to uncover It truly helpful amp it helped me out a whole lot. I hope to supply something back and aid other people such as you helped me. So thrilled to buy this machine demo buy in late 2. Im told it needs a new board Are you kidding me There have always been issues with stitches, rethreading, bobbin, etc. I initially thought it was user inexperience with computerized functions. Ive now realized many of you are having or have had these issues too. I HATE that I spent that much money for crap I have been debating as others have whether to invest in fixing or get another Janome and thanks to all who have shared their info I think Ill try to find a Brother this time. Thank you all for your reviews. Sadly, I cannot give this machine more than one star it works like a 4. HUGE SIGH I have a lovehate relationship with this machine. When it works, producing great embroidered designs, I love it. When it breaks down, as it has done at least once a year during the 6 years Ive owned it, I hate it. Thank you to all who posted about the bobbin issues. That was my first set of problems. However, my dealer didnt blame me. The bobbin problems recurred for 4 years. This tied in with needle tension issues, resulting in loopy embroidery threads when Id create designs. There have also been problems with the foot pedal connection not working for regular sewing twice now. Last year, the embroidery hoop arm would not swing into place when the lever was pressed. The lever would not go completely down. Finally, a few weeks ago, when Id turn the machine on, a message would appear, Raise and lower needle bar and presser foot. When Id do that, the first 4 5 times, the embroidery arm attachment in place would shake and make a loud rattling noise. Later, it quit shaking when Id do that but the machine never allowed me to begin any sewing. Hence, it is in the shop and Im wondering if I want to spend more money 6. A couple of years ago, I asked the dealerrepairman when I had the machine in the shop if these frequent repairs were normal for Janomes. He shook his head and said, No, youre special. From what I see here, I am not so special. Maybe its repair record is not bad enough to be called a lemon such that it can be replaced. Whatever is the case, I am left without a machine, during the highest personal demand time. Christmas is less than a month from now and I am not able to make any of the projects Id planned for family and friends. Teaching Middle Years Pendergast Ebook Readers. I started off with a MC 8. Ive always kept the bobbin case free of lint and change the needle fairly regularly. Only ever been to the Technician for service. Have done a lot of embroidery as well as patchwork etc and have kept updating because of the larger hoop. Love the MC 1. 10. I have been a sewing machine for 3. I have had many hours of training in classes and hands on. Janome has always been a fav. Then the 1. 10. 0 came out and Wham. As for working for a dealer,we should get good tech support. Janome has the worst of any brand on the market. After hours waiting on the phone for the top guy,he will listen and then tell you to replace A board. NO actual help in the problem. They like to make you feel like a Dummy. As far as dealer support,BrotherBaby lock is top of the game. They both are made in the same factory. Bernina is ok but they have to call you back after they look up the problem. Singer is gone,They were bought out by Happy in China. There embroidery machines are made by Juki. All in all for the money you spend,Brother from a dealer is best spent in my book. Walmart. Thanks for the rant,back to work now. The Quilting Penn. Ive owned this machine since 2. I am an avid quilter and I love my MC1. Anything that has happened to it has been my fault. Tension was my enemy until I figured out the issue of the snap in the first thread guide. I put a permanent label up there SNAP. Every embroidery project has turned out lovely. I have never had a problem with loading designs, but my flash drives are all 1. G so I must have just been lucky from the start to use large the capacity drives. I love the Janome Easy. Design Easy. Edit. Only once did I ruin an embroidery but it was the snap thing again. Re threading fixed that and I started over. I put the label on. I use all types of thread with no issues when following the manufacturer tension instructions. Embroidery Madeira, Gutermann and Superior. Everything Else Superior only Conductive, cotton, fusible, metallic, polyester, silk, water soluble, Glow in the DarkI may have happened to get one of the good machines and had Great service people, but I havent wanted to change since I bought it. Since I use it daily for my business, I miss it terribly when it goes in for its every 6 month regular service. So frustrated. Bobbin issues. So costly. Wish someone could give me answers. I own the special edition model. I sew and embroider on this machine daily. I love it. I did have some issues with a flash drive and then learned that you must not use larger than a 2meg flash drive and it must be formatted in the machine first or it will not read it. I bough the customizerto open designs and now I can transfer designs with ease. Jim in Virginia. I love this machine. It reads patterns on flash drives, and embroiders very well. I have completed approx. I also have a Model 7. Model 1. 36. 0. I love all of them. I take the 1. 36. Janome made a mistake with the 1. Even the 1. 50. 00 has had trouble getting started with sales because of past problems with the 1. They shouldnt have put the 1. I waited to see what the users would think of the 1.
