My Janome 9500 when I do embroidery the top thread gets struck in the bobbin holder, then needle is struck, a lump of top thread is formed underneath the cloth. I think the bobbin holder is faulty
Please help me. Elizabeth de Souza
423 Bringing this back up for possibly more help. Elizabeth, have you checked to see if you somehow got a burr on the bobbin case? If the needle nicked the plastic part, there could be a little tiny burr causing this. Hugs, Marji
22364 Hi,
I have a Janome 9700. When that happens it
could be several things. 1)you may have a
burr on the needle so change the needle
2)there could be lint around or under the
bobbin housing, so take that out and clean
all the dust away frome it. 3) rethread the
machine... Maybe do all the above. Make
sure the thread is hooked properly in the
bobbin housing also. Just some ideas.
Good luck,
Lorma
by 
348 when that happens to me, usually the thread path of the upper thread is incorrect...try completely rethreading the top thread
68 you have been given all the answeres so
thought i would add just a little more
help, remove the bobbin case and take a
good look at it feel all over it and
check to see if there are any rough parts
on it. sometimes the needle hits the
plastic particularly after a dense nest
has been created plus thread can actually
cut though the plastic case at the side of
it and the thread catches and this is
actualy what it sounds like so here is the
answer. go to you local store and
purchase one of the nail care sticks that
has the four different parts to it a
hard file a smoother finer one a buffer
and a polisher they are not expensive to
purchase Try not to use the courser
section of it unless the burr or snage is
very deep so smooth it down a little
then change to teh finer section and
smooth again til you cannot feel any
roughness You can check this by haveing
some nylon hose or some silk underwear pass
over it if it snags then gently smooth
down again now buff and then finally
polish the area.
While you are at it check the foot plate
for roughness the same way as again if a
needle hits it, it will score the metal
and the thread can catch in it. smooth
down as above. add a small amount of thin
oil to the underside of the bobbin case
and now try again .
hopefully this will have cured the problem
for you but the next course of action is to
purchase a new bobbin case and keep it on
stand by that way if you are in the middle
of a project you can swop it over and
continue whilst trying to repair the one
that is damaged. try E bay as they are
somtimes much cheaper.I do hope this will

1776 I don't have a janome and just hope someone can help you solve the problems.
51341 Hi I have a 9700 only had a few months. I think I've had simalar problems. The bobbinthread is getting caught on the thread at the start of the bobbin the one you cut when winding. Does it happen when you are starting to run out of bobbin thread. I felt that my bobbin was not winding correctly. I now hold the bobbin thread straight above the bobbin when winding but don't pull it up just hold it and let it wind for a while before cutting the thread.<br />And when I threaded the bobbin I was doing it with the cover off I'm now doing it with the lid closed and the thread ou the corner. So far its working.
1655 Elizabeth, I have had this happen with my Janome 10000. The first time there was a nick in the actual bobbin holder and I had to replace that. About $25.00 if I remember correctly. The second time it was the same thing but my dealer fixed it with using an emery board to smooth it over. It was just a small burr on it. Run your finger over the bobbin case to make sure it is all smooth as it should be
6846 Hi i had this problem with my Janome 9700 had take it to my dealer it was the tension. Have had my machine in sooooooooooo many times with the same problem, thinking of trading my machine for a HUS.
5347 I just thought you might want to check and make sure your using the right stabilizer for the fabric your stitching on. (Example if you are stitching on stretchy fabric make sure your using the fusible or sticky back stabilizer. if not this can make a jumbled up mess on the bottom of fabric and knot up around the bobbin) This is what happened to me awhile back. I thought I had really messed up. It cost me the price of a shirt I was doing for a friend.

1104 I'm not familiar with Janomes but Loma has suggested everything to do that I would suggest. Always change needle out first, clean, clean & clean. I also change threads in bobbin & top sometimes it turns out to be my machine doesn't like that particular brand of thread. Welcome to the Cute Site arsenio. *4U
