The spool pins on my Janome 405 have gotten pushed down into the machine, how do I get them back up?

SOURCE: can the horizontal spool pin be put vertically on the Janome 8080 so I can use a cone of thread on it instead of a regular spool. The other vertical spool pin is very small and close to the threadin

I Agree entirely !!

SOURCE: The top spool of thread jams tight when I pull the

It sounds like the tension setting is too tight. The tension mechanism consists of two metal disks; the thread runs between these disks. When the pressure foot is down, the disks come together, trapping the thread between them. When the pressure foot is up, the disks separate and the thread can flow freely. (BTW, this is why you adjust the tension with the pressure foot down.)

Take a look at your tension setting and try loosening it. That should resolve the problem.

Let me know if this helps, ok?

SOURCE: Where does the spool of thread go on a Janome

look for a plastic thread holder about the size and shape of a match stick with a base. It goes on the top of the machine. You see where it is if you google images for your machine
