My Janome sewing machine will only do a straight stitch, the zig zag will not work.

Depending on the age and model of your machine (under warranty, or an older machine), it sounds as though the gear used to change from straight stitch to zig-zag is failing. If you have knobs-dials-buttons, the trouble could be there, too. This is a fix for a qualified repair tech if the following doesn't solve your problem:
Are you absolutely certain you have everything set on the machine for zig-zag sewing? All the knobs-dials-buttons switched to the correct setting?
Is the stitch width set for z-z?
Are you using the open toe presser foot?
If none of that helps, it really is time for the machine to be seen by a pro.
