You won't even look at my problem unless I pay you money but you want me to tell you, for free, how I fixed the problem? Doesn't seem fair to me. I will post my solution on a free forum. Sorry to all you folks looking for the solution.
Your question suggests that you want to have the bottom thread ready to sew, and that you DO know how to thread the needle................so.............
Thread the needle...........pull an excess of about 75mm (3") to the rear of the machine and keep hold of it,...........manually turn the handwheel towards you - anti-clockwise - one revolution (finish on the needle up position)....clear the 2 threads from under the foot and you are done.
Of course this will only pick up the bobbin thread if the machine is correctly timed, if not, then you will need to look at re-timing the needle to the hook.........see how you get on with this first.
Anyone that is still in need of the manual for Harmony 2041 /2049. Please contact me by email and I will email you a copy that I just received from Janome as a PDF file... [email protected] It is 2.7 MB in size.
Darning would normally be done with the triple stretch stich, the one that is a zig-zag broken up into three stitches right and then three stitches left. See-through Zig-Zag foot. Zig-Zag set at it's widest. Feed set to about 1/16-1/8 inch (1.5-3mm) and darn by sewing forward a bit, adjust fabric, and then backward by pressing and holding the reverse button. Continue back and forth until you've created a darned box. For extra strength, turn fabric 90 degrees and repeat over same area.
First switch off your machine and lower the needle. Try to pull your needle bar to the right and to the left. There should be a little bit of resistance but you should be able to do it. If it is tight your machine needs a service and from a qualified tecnician.
If you are able to pull it, then switch your machine on, and check if the machine initialize and the needle move to the left and stops in the centre. If not your step motor is faulty.
