Janome Sewing Tutorial 2- Threading the machine
If you are new to sewing, threading a sewing machine seem a little overwhelming. The good news is, almost every sewing machine is threaded the same way. I had a singer, a pfaff, a white, a kenmore, and now a Janome and they all threaded basically the same way. So, you may be able to use this tutorial with other machines as well.
Threading the Machine
Once you've made your bobbin, click here for that tutorial, you are ready to thread your machine.
Your thread is already on the spool holder on the back.
Next, bring your thread through the upper thread guide like this.
Then, slip your thread around the tension area. It will go down the right side of the red area, around the bottom of the red area and up the left side like this.

Then, once you are back up at the top, slip the thread through the tension take up lever like this. (It's the loopy thing. If you can't find yours, turn the handwheel on the side until it appears.
Then, pull the thread down and slip it behind the needle bar thread guide and pull the thread around to the front.
Your last step to thread the top part of the machine is to thread the needle, through the front and pull it out the back of the needle.
In the next tutorial, I will show you how to insert the bobbin and take up the thread. Then, I will discuss the stitches and we'll take a quick practice run.
Also, notice that I will be adding all of my tutorials in my sidebar to on the left for easy access.
Hugs,
Gina K.

Great tutorials Gina! Very encouraging, I had bought a very inexpensive (down right cheap) little hobby sewing machine just over a year ago and did not have any success with it, hence I returned it. Since I've been sewing for the last 40 years (and on my third sewing machine) I'm real hesitant to use my 'good' machine on cardstock. I'll have to give this little machine a try.

I don't know if you will be able to help my but I bought this machine after reading your wonderful tutorial. I have never owned a sewing machine and can't get the machine to take up thread - when I sew it just puts holes into the cardstock. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Thanks for any help,
Suzy

This posting is a godsend! I'm trying to finish my son's St Francis costume for school and haven't used my Janome sewing machine in several yrs and the manual is no where to be found! But I was able to thread my machine now! Thanks! May even attempt to change the bobbin thread since I really don't want white showing through on the underside of a brown fabric.

Thanks, I had forgotten how to thread my bobbin. Obviously, I don't sew nearly enough! I have an 18 mo. old. Good reason, huh?

Saying that threading a sewing machine is overwhelming is a little like saying it’s a long way to the top of Mt Everest. If you don’t get it right the first time all you end up with is a mish mash of stitches and you just have to start again. Thanks Gina for taking the guess work out and stepping us through.
