Janome 2212 Sewing Machine Questions & Answers
My daughter's brand new, right out of the box Janome 2212 machine is not working. The foot pedal is not engaging the motor so the needle doesn't move up and down. The wheel is pushed in as it
Sorry, but gotta ask is it plugged in and turned on? Check before you answer. (I ask this because it happened to me, set up, ready to go, and no power. After an hour and the machine was in pieces, My son asked if i plugged it in and I snapped "YES, DUH" not seeing him twirling he plug in his hand...he informed me that you must be 10% smarter than anything you operate or eat....at which point he was happy to inform me, the machine was 11% smarter. If it is plugged in and turned on, is the plug to the foot pedal plugged all the way in? Is the machine on? If you get zero reaction, no movement or sound of any kind, the foot pedal my be faulty, it can happen. Take it back to the dealer and they should replace the entire machine or the foot pedal. Good luck and happy sewing.
My new janome 2212 isn't feeding my fabric
ok. Never pull fabric, it will bend the needle and cause you even more problem. So stop doing that. Look in your manual for where the feed dog switch is. It might be under the "darning" area. Good luck

try changing needles-flat side to the back of the machinecheck for any burrs around the needle plate areacheck to make sure the tension is not to tightcheck to make sure the bobbin is wound correctly & inserted correctly in the bobbin case
I have a Janome model 577 (I know it's old!!) and
If the top tension is on 0 I suspect the problem begins in the bobbin, make sure first of all the bobbin is turning anti clockwise in the bobbin case, when you pull the thread through the bobbin case there should be slight resistence, if it is too loose turn the screw on the bobbin case clockwise about a quarter of a turn to tighten, if it is not making muh difference you may have fluff stuck under the spring on the bobbin casem take a fine sewing needle and slide it under the spring to see if you can get any fluff out, top tension about 4 or 5
Where can I find a Janome kwiknit Knitter CHJ-3 munual?
I have the Janome CHJ-3 Kwiknit Knitter and am having some problems with it. Purchased this machine some40 years ago and used it an awful lot and was always very happy with it. After storage and loaning it out, it now does not work. Needs a service I suppose which I would like to do myself. Does this machine have a sponge bar? Also I can copy the manual and send it to you - please let me know.
Can I download embroidery editor from janome site instead of downloading from cd
You can download the Artistic Designer program from Janome,
https://www.janome.com/products/software/ . However, it will not work unless you have purchased a license key from a dealer. For other Janome software, only updates for supported software are available:
https://www.janome.com/support/general-support/software-support/ . You'll either need the program to have been installed on your computer or to put the CD in an optical disc drive. If your current computer doesn't have an optical disc drive, you can get a USB optical drive from Amazon or any other shop that has electronic/computer parts. USB DVD read/write drives are under $50 even at most shops that don't discount accessories. You may need the USB type C (M) to USB type A (female) adapter with some of the newest models (laptops and tablets).
I hope this helps. Please add a comment with the name and version of your software for further assistance. If your software is no longer supported by Janome, there are some third-party embroidery editing software packages. One is

Janome 350E suddenly stopped reading the USB
Your space is not formatted correctly to the size of the hoop. For example if the hoop is 5x7 your design has to fit within that space, and the space cannot be bigger than 5x7. Strange but true and it will fix the reboot and shut down issue.
I've been trying out a New Home, Janome 641 for my granddaughter. It will only sew backwards.
A new old machine for you I assume.For older mechanical only machines, reverse stitch is an exaggerated long stitch length that changes the angle and contact time of fabric to the feed dogs. Try setting stitch length to minimum and straight stitch. Check feed dog up/down is functional (if featured). It could also be the reverse linkage is simply stuck and the machine is in need of a thorough clean/lube.I looked for a manual but so far have not found. I'll append if I find.
