Janome Memory Craft MC3500 Questions

Jo Ann S.2y

will not pick up bobbin thread

Janome DM 2y

Hello Jo Ann, Recommend you use Janome needles and Janome plastic bobbins. If you are already using the correct needles and bobbins, then recommend you take your machine to an authorised Janome Retailer, it may require the timing to be reset which is part of a service. Here is a link to Janome Retailer external link Thank you - Janome Australia

Plugged in, light on but machine not going.

As it's computerised they seem to do that. I've had 2 machines, one Elna, one Bernina cost many thousands of dollars and just stopped. I can't get anyone to even look at the Bernina. I live in Melbourne. The old mechanical machines seem to sew and sew and you can get them serviced and repaired.

Nina B. 3y

If you still require someone to service your Bernina my sewing machine mechanic does. His name is Wayne and he works from home in Epping. His number is 0410 562 760.

No it’s not a glitch. have a practice run . Press the stitch width button and it will move the needle back to the middle. I hope this helps

Hi I have my mother-in-law Janome MC3500 the screen shows only BOBBIN WINDING even I press any button and straight stitch pattern only hope somebody can tell me how to fix it ...thank you

Elizabeth 5y

Only guessing but have you tried moving the bobbin winder backwards and forward to see if it releases.

Yuiri's W. 5y

Hi yes but still nothing change..I turn on and off still and when I press buttons it has unusual sound like sound from electric shock flashlight ...

My MC3500 is bunching the fabric when I'm using zig zag stich. It creates little ridge lines under the stitches as the stitches pull the fabric. I've played with the tension & altered the length & width but it doesn't sit flat. Any ideas?

Elizabeth 5y

Have you tried the tension on the bobbin?

Kate 5y

Yes, first thing I did. Any other suggestions?

Can this machine sew heavy duty vinyl?

Not sure but it will see through sheep and dog coats. Use a heavy duty needle and thread.

Hello yes I have in the past, no special instructions, simple swap of single to double needle, ran the thread from bobbin winder as second thread.

Trish 6y

Thanks for responding, I tried it yesterday and one of the needles snapped. I left it on straight stitch and regular length stitch. Should I have done anything different different?

Does MC3500 have alphabet? If so where do you go to engage this function?

Elizabeth 7y

No it doesn’t have alphabet. I’ve checked my books and nothing is said about alphabet.

Margo 7y

Mine is a MC 6500 and it does have the alphabet. But not sure of the 3500.....sorry

Marie H8y

What price for one 6 years old with hardly any use?

Grace J 7y

I paid $200 for mine 2nd hand with the walking foot included. It hasn't missed a beat and was definitely worth every cent. Mine also had little use. I bought it from a non-sewer who had every intension of learning but never did. My gain. :)
