It uses a top-loading drop-in bobbin system. Compatible bobbins are Janome part number SA156 or standard class 15 bobbins.
How do I clean and maintain the machine?
Remove the needle plate and clean the bobbin area with the included brush. Oil the race and hook mechanism every 8-10 hours of use using sewing machine oil. Consult the manual for detailed instructions.
Why is the needle not moving?
Check if the machine is engaged (handwheel pulled out). Ensure the foot pedal is connected and the power is on. Also verify the needle is properly inserted.

Can I sew heavy fabrics like denim or leather?
