Clear bobbin out of thread

I'm using my mother's Janome Memory Craft 4800 and I am not familiar with all the terms of sewing. Anywho, the small lower clear bobbin just ran out of thread. Is there a way I can wind thread onto it by using the top larger bobbin which has plenty?
Thanks

Memory Craft has a bobbin winder on top of the machine.  It works beautifully, but wind it on slowly for better sewing function.

Janome 6500 Sewing Machine. CORRECT TENSION ON 6500 JANOME SEW MACHINE please.

Question edited for clarity.
Please don't type in all CAPS, it is considered SHOUTING and is harder to read.

Sewing machine tension is a delicate tug of war between the bottom Bobbin tension and the Upper tension to put the loop between the 2 layers of fabric. You set the Bobbin tension first and the the top tension depends on the fabric and the thread used.

Your Bobbin tension is very very loose to be not tensioning at all or the top tension is too loose.

I am having trouble with applique on a memory craft janome 4800.

Upper thread breaks
needle may be in backwards
Raise the needle bar to the highest point, then loosen the clamp screw to remove the old needle, place the new needle in the clamp with the flat side to the back of the machine
Push the needle all the way up to the stop or as far as it will go, then tighten the needle clamp screw
upper tension may be to tight
the needle may be bent or damaged
thread may be hanging up in bobbin case--check area for loose threads or lint
check for burrs on the needle plate & on the bobbin case

Janome Memory Craft 4800 problems!

Time for a trip to the shop for service.

The thread in the lower looper breaks frequently I spend more time threading than sewing

Try replacing the needle. It may be bent. I use polyester/cotton thread in the bobbin as it is stronger and resists breaking. A loose or a tight adjustment on the bobbin holder can also cause breaking. Check with a service shop for this one if you are not familiar.

My Janome Memory Craft 4800 is skipping stitches. I've cleaned the bobbin race, replaced the needle and re-threaded both top and bobbin. Any suggestions? it also feels as if the thread is getting caught on...

Hello,

Here are some things to check.

* Thread tension is too tight.
* Needle is bent or blunt.
* Needle is wrong size.
* Needle and thread does not match.
* Light pressure on presser foot.
* Incorrect setting of needle.

I hope this helps you.

Problem with the tension when embrod.

lower your top tension down, as it is tighter then your bobbin thread and also tighten your bobbin thread, this is done by the small screw on the bobbin holder, also you can try using the older metal bobbins these are the ones with the small holes around the top and bottom shank, but please make sure that they are the larger size bobbin, and only go very slow at first, try just in sewing mode first or just wind it over by hand.

Janome 9000

I have a Janome 9000, was sewing and broke needle, replaced and broke another. I didn't have machine threaded, took out bobbin and would sew a little and stop saying thread broke. I took off top plate and started machine again, sew a little and stop saying thread broke. So I took out bobbin case and sewed again and stopped repeating the message. Everything looks OK, bobbin case and top plate. I guess I want to know if the timing could be off or do you think it is the computer part of the machine...Should I take it to the Sewing Machine Shop??
