Have a janome master craft 3000, just bought it used yesterday. Was sewing fine then all of a sudden it would stop pushing the material through like the needle was dull or something. Now it's doing it constantly and the material is bunching up and not advancing forward. I already changed the needle. could it be the thread is caught in the bobbin? Or something wrong with feed dogs?

First do a process of elemination. Unthread the machine, both top and bottom, take out the needle. Place a piece of fabric under the pressure foot, lower the pressure, and depress the foot control. Does the fabric feed? If it does, then put in a NEW needle, thread up the machine, and see what happens. A dull needle won't prevent the fabric from feeding. If the fabric does not feed with no thread, then you have a pressure foot pressure problem, or a feed dog height problem, or a feed step motor problem, or possibly a board problem. If it only has a problem when you thread it up, then maybe you have a burr on the needle plate and the thread is hanging up on it and preventing the fabric from feeding. Check for all of these and if you still need assistance respond back.

Janome MC 3000 shank height

The Janome Memory Craft 3000 uses a low shank snap-on presser foot with a presser foot holder for most of its standard presser feet. See page 17 (page 19 of the PDF) of the User Manual available from Janome on the retired machine support page: https://www.janome.com/support/retired-machine-manuals/ . The current link to the manual is https://www.janome.com/siteassets/support/manuals/retired/computer/inst-book-mc3000.pdf . For specific presser feet that originally came with the machine, see page 3 of the manual (page 5 of the PDF). You can get presser feet that are known to be compatible at most sewing machine supply vendors, including https://www.sewingpartsonline.com/janome-memory-craft-3000-sewing-machine-parts.aspx?filter.ptype_gmcfeed_1=%20Presser%20Feet&index=39 or https://www.sewingmachinesplus.com/janome-mc3000-parts-accessories.php . A few presser feet have their own shank and require you to take off the holder.

I hope this helps.

Where can I get a manual for a craft master 4300 sewing machine?

The Craft master 4300 was also sold with the Janome HD1000 label. Thus the Janome manual should help you. That manual is available from Janome at the HD1000 product page: http://janome.com/en/machines/sewing/hd1000/ . The direct link is http://janome.com/siteassets/support/manuals/economy-models/inst-book-hd-1000engfrsp.pdf .

Lost power cord for Janome 3000 Memory Craft Embroidery machine- where can I buy another????

Try https://www.sewshop.com/#/Cords___Controls-8-4020.html. They have Janome power cords. The one fits the Memory Craft. Most of the manufacturer's use the same power cord for most of their machines.

I've forgotten how to drop the feed dogs-can you help

There is a little lever on the back of the free arm at the bottom. Push the lever to the right and that will lower the feed dog.

Janome mermory craft 8000 drop feed dog

I hate to sound dismissive but: read the manual. Duh. It is not as written above: drop dog........
The feed dog is the toothed pieces in the sewing machine deck, under the needle, which move the material away from you when you push the operating pedal.
Dropping the dog - ie making it inoperative - (see manual for how to on your machine) means the material has to be propelled by hand under the needle. This is especially good for freehand machine embroidery as it means you can move the material in any direction whilst sewing.
It can be easier to freehand embroider if your material is fixed in to an embroidery hoop to hold it flat while you work.
