To thread the Janome MS 3015, start by placing the spool on the spool pin. Follow the threading path indicated on the machine, making sure to pass the thread through the tension discs and the take-up lever. Finally, thread the needle from front to back.
Uneven stitches can be caused by tension issues, incorrect threading, or needle problems. Check the thread tension settings, re-thread the machine, and ensure you are using the correct needle size and type for your fabric.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the bobbin area, oiling the machine as per the manual's instructions, and changing the needle after every project or after 8-10 hours of sewing.
Adjust the tension by turning the tension dial, located on the top of the machine. For most fabrics, a tension setting between 3 and 5 is appropriate, but you may need to adjust it depending on the thickness and type of fabric.
First, turn off the machine and remove the needle. Open the bobbin cover and gently remove the bobbin and any tangled thread. Re-thread the bobbin, ensuring it’s correctly placed in the bobbin case.
Ensure the needle is inserted correctly and not damaged. Re-thread the upper thread and the bobbin, making sure the bobbin is wound smoothly. Lower the presser foot before attempting to pick up the bobbin thread again.
To change the needle, ensure the machine is turned off. Lower the presser foot and use the needle clamp screw to loosen and remove the old needle. Insert a new needle with the flat side facing the back and tighten the screw securely.
Turn off the machine and remove the needle and presser foot. Open the bobbin case and use a small brush to remove lint and dust. Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth and avoid using harsh cleaners.
Turn the stitch selector dial to choose from various stitch patterns. Refer to the stitch guide on the machine for available options. Adjust the stitch length and width as needed using the respective dials.
Skipping stitches can be caused by a dull or incorrectly inserted needle, improper threading, or incorrect tension. Replace the needle, re-thread the machine, and check the tension settings to resolve the issue.
