When selecting a stich, there's a button with a triangle with one edge pointing down. There you can select Needle Position and Stitch Length. --PDF manual, page 23 The thread tension has no influence on the stitch length. It just adjusts, where needle thread and bobbin thread 'meet' inside the fabric. A too high tension means, the bobbin thread is pulled trough the fabric and can be seen on the upper (needle) side. A too low tension means, the bobbin thread is not pulled through the fabric and you can see the needle thread on the bobbin side.

A setting change while you are sewing should not happen. Sounds like you will have to take your machine in for service.

Duh. It was the breaker. Always check the breaker ...especially around Xmas!

check there,s not something blocking the carriage e.g a pin , clean all round carefully and make sure it has room to move correctly.

Hi Janice, Most likely a fuse in the transformer blew. A technician needs to see the machine to fix it. hope that helps!

What size lettering are you using? You can try smaller lettering or a larger hoop. also try going to edit then clear.

If this is happening during embroidery, please make sure the presser foot is in the down position. With the embroidery foot on, it's sometimes hard to tell. The check spring in your upper tension may be bad. You won't be able to fix it yourself. Take it in to your local repair shop. The last option is to remove the needle plate and bobbin case. Turn the screw on the front 1/4 turn to the left, no more. If this doesn't help, leave it alone and take it in to the shop.

I'm pretty sure you just swing open the lamp cover and the bulb will be right there. It just pulls out. This is a halogen bulb and will be spendy (over $20).

If it squeaks when you are embroidering and not when you are sewing, it's the belts on the embroidery unit. From use, they can become glazed, slick and then they squeak. If it squeaks when you are doing either, it's more than likely an internal lubrication of the machine that needs to be done by a trained technician. Cheers, Kelly Embroidery Services San Diego, CA

Hello Hazel The Memory Craft 9000 is a computerized sewing machine. In removing the casing precautions must be taken to prevent damage to the electronic boards which are costly to replace. As a result it is recommended by the manufacturer (Janome) that this work be performed only by qualified technicians with the required equipment to prevent any damage. What is the reason for requiring the casing to be removed?

can you explain more about the noise it is making ? maybe something is caught some where else

sure you can trade it in but you would be better off selling your self the dealer may give 200.00 for it if you buy a new one from him

Electronic at times, when they set up for a long time go bad, especially when packed away. Camera's are known for it. Take it to a shop before making any decisions about it. It could be a simple cap that needs replacing.

Tension depends on so many things. Material thickness, right size needle, thread,bobbin etc . If it is none of these things then you need a technician.Best wishes

I had the same problem with mine I had to take it in for servicing

You need to adjust the screen. Turn the machine off. Press simultaneously the three buttons on the front (Start, reverse and stop) at the same time turn the machine on.

Press the crosses that appear on the screen and it should all be fine.
