Fixing My New Home Memory Craft Sewing Machine

I haven't used my New Home Memory Craft 7000 for a few years but got out today to do some zig zagging of edges. Thought I had threaded properly but after a few stitches, it jammed and I had to cut threads to release fabric. Took plate off under where bobbin is and needle doesn't seem to be taking up bobbin thread. Any ideas please?

This is not too hard to repair. You just have an issue of threading the machine incorrectly and not installing the bobbin in the right way. it would also help if you took apart the bobbin canister and the holder to do a good cleaning of this area before you start again. Remove all the lint and dust in his area using a small brush. Now add 1 drop of oil here and not more. Put this back together and now take your bobbin and put it back in the canister. Watch how you thread this canister to make sure the thread is moving correctly.

Now put it back in the machine. Take the thread out of your machine and on all machines, they have a thread guide or arrows that can be followed. Make sure you follow the arrows. New machines are so easy to thread. Basically, you just put the thread down the right side and around the bottom and up around the arm and straight down. Now thread your needle and start again. Make sure you pull enough thread up from the bobbin and the needle to have a nice little tale at the back so that you can start sewing again.

Since you have not used your machine in several years it probably does need a good cleaning, especially the bobbin area but threading your machine properly is crucial to any type of sewing.

IIf you have your manual there is a detailed section on threading that has an excellent diagram and looks easy to follow. If you do not have your manual handy you can download a free copy from Janome - just go down page until you find your model. Janome also has some excellent videos for help with all kinds of problems and lessons.
You can also contact them for help but most of the time - if the answer is not on their site - they will only send information on where your local dealer is located.

Here is a video on threading but not the exact machine but I could find very little difference in the 3000 and 7000 (unless I did not know where to look).

This sounds like a classic case of build up (threads, fabric and dust) build up in and around the bobbin housing. Through time this area builds up with debris and hinders your machine to fail. Go in and clean out , and try again.
