The upper thread on my LS14 keeps snapping since I bent a needle and replaced it. I've adjusted the tension, I've brushed down the needle holder, etc. I removed the bobbin holder to clean it and realised that a bent pin had been hiding under it. I removed the pin cleaned and put everything back together.

Now my thread keeps snapping and the machine makes a slight clunking noise before it snaps. It seems to struggle with any thickness (I'm talking a very thin seam thickness). I've removed the bobbin holder and replaced it, I've replaced the needle. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong! Any suggestions?

When the needle bent, another part may have bent, too. Another possibility is that there is a rough edge on the part that bent. The thread is rubbing against a rough or bent part and frays to the point of snapping. If you cant find the faulty part, you may have to have the machine serviced.

When trying to sew on my Janome Memory Craft 6000, the cotton thread keeps breaking or gathering underneath. I have changed the cotton, checked the tension, and redone the threading on top and bobbin.

Can you please help me?

Check that the bobbin isn't in backwards. It can cause that problem

Old thread or poor quality thread breaks easily. Try a fresh spool.

My bobbin case is chipped. Are there any do-it-yourself fixes for this? Also my top thread keeps breaking.

You can replace those cases fairly cheaply. I found a replacement part (bobbin case) for mine on ebay.

Once it is chipped, you have to replace it. If it is a tiny chip, you could try filing it, but I think it is shot.

Your thread may be old, too thin, or the needle may be wrong.

Your tension may be too tight. You may also have old thread, which breaks easily.
