Thanks Molly41. I'll definitely look out for that.

Have you tried just Googling the name of the machine plus instructions to see if there is anything online? If not there might be a video on You Tube showing how to thread a machine, most of them are very similar so you should be able to follow how to do it.

Thanks. I spent the afternoon doing this and rang Janome who will send out a replacement

That's a definite 'must watch' for me Molly

OOh Molly. I am looking foreward to that one.
Although glad that I am not a contestant. When the pressure is on I go to pieces and the simplest things go wrong.
I have been making place mats for my parents caravan, and then a christmas cushion.
Need to get the photos on to the laptop and on to cyber space before i can put them on here.

Mooloo, I made two Christmas cushions, thought if I didnt sell them I would keep them and have them on the settee but they both sold x

OH asked for a Christmas Present Wish List from me... I wrote "Dinner cooked once a week" and "1 hour quiet sewing time a week" wonder whether I'll get either?!

Hi, I have a Janome J3-24 that I've never used (I have never used a machine before). I have lost the instructions in my house move and now don't even know how to load on the thread. do you know where I can get a copy of the instructions?

I like this idea. Pity I dont have a partner here to do that for me.
I think my new years resolutions will need to include some real put aside sewing time. Today I have been making christmas cards. Not my favourite thing, as my Mum makes such beautiful ones, so I hate to compete but needs must. Finances have been hit quite hard by helping the family, and now I am feeling the pinch myself. Like so many others at the moment.
Least I have made a few sales in the last few days. That gave me the cash to make a food shop yesterday. So thats good.:D
