To thread the Janome Memory Craft 350E, begin by raising the presser foot to release the tension discs. Place the spool on the spool pin and draw the thread through the top thread guide. Follow the threading path indicated on the machine, ensuring the thread passes through the tension discs and the take-up lever. Finally, thread the needle from front to back.
If the machine won't start, ensure it is properly plugged in and turned on. Check if the embroidery unit is correctly attached and locked. Make sure the presser foot is lowered and that there are no thread jams. If the problem persists, consult the user manual for troubleshooting steps or contact customer support.
Regularly check the tension settings by sewing a test piece and adjusting as needed. Ensure the thread is properly seated in the tension discs. Clean the tension discs periodically to remove lint and dust that could affect tension. Refer to the manual for specific tension adjustment instructions.
Turn off the machine and unplug it before cleaning. Use a small brush to remove lint and dust from the bobbin area and feed dogs. Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents. Regular cleaning will prolong the machine's lifespan and improve performance.
To update the embroidery software, download the latest version from the Janome website onto a USB stick. Insert the USB stick into the machine's USB port. Follow the on-screen prompts to update the software. Ensure the machine remains powered on during the update process.
Ensure the fabric is hooped tightly and correctly. Check that the hoop is properly secured in the machine. Verify the design is correctly positioned in the embroidery software. If alignment issues persist, recalibrate the machine following the steps in the manual or contact support.
Check if the needle is bent or dull and replace it if necessary. Ensure the needle is correctly inserted and the thread is properly threaded. Verify that the fabric is suitable for the needle and thread being used. Adjust the tension settings if needed.
To change the needle, turn off the machine and unplug it. Lower the presser foot and hold the old needle with one hand while loosening the needle clamp screw with a screwdriver. Remove the old needle and insert a new one with the flat side facing the back. Tighten the needle clamp securely.
Cover the machine with a dust cover to protect it from dust and lint. Store it in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the needle is removed and the presser foot is in the raised position to prevent pressure on the feed dogs.
First, make sure the bobbin is wound evenly and placed correctly in the bobbin case. Check the bobbin case tension by performing a drop test and adjusting the tension screw if necessary. Refer to the user manual for detailed instructions on bobbin tension adjustments.
