Thank you for watching

Honestly, only when I feel that there are glitches in the sewing. So I clean it and oil it as I’m sure there’s got to be dirt somewhere as we’re dealing with fabric and thread 😊.

Thank you for watching.

Thank you

Merci pour vos gentils commentaires. Je suis content que cela vous ait aidé. Chari.

Thank you for watching. The oil is used is 3 in one machine oil.. not silicone.

If you can send me your email i will send you a photo of it. 👍🏼

Thank you for watching. I think we’ve made a segment on thread breakage. Did you check our embroidery playlist? You can also try using a different brand of thread.

Could be.. i’m not sure about the ‘groan’ because machines always have sounds when you use them.. as long as it embroiders well with no tension problems or other problems, i think that’s fine.

thank you so much for responding. I agree they make noises!

Thank you for watching.. hope you subscribed to our channel. Anything else you want us to demonstrate just put in the comment section and we’ll try to come up with a segment of it.👍🏼

@@thecreativemiddlescent yes I subscribed. After applying a bit more oil to the top part of the machine it made all the difference. I would like to comment on one thing about this machine. A tiny history...I started machine embroidery in 2005 with a Janome Memocraft 950....a dinosaur now....when I first began using the 500E, which is about a month ago, I loved the thread cutting feature for the first few days. I was getting continuous thread breakage and threading the upper thread to no avail and then realized it was the bobbin thread breaking. I realized when the thread cutting was taking place while embroidering it occurred to me that when the bobbin was cut, it was not "picking up" the bobbin upon continuation. This constant removal of the hoop, fixing the bobbin breakage, replacing the hoop was adding way to much time to the process. I deactivated the thread cutting feature and I haven't had one thread breakage since and I've had this machine going 4 to 6 hours a day since. Cutting the jump threads takes far less time than the hoop removal. Has anyone else had this problem with the 500E? Sorry for the length of this post!

@@ChrisSharpe-kd5bj thanks for hour reply. I have also found that my machine sometimes doesn’t pick up after a thread cut. I have found that if i press the start key again it will start to sew, and most times. Your comment seems very sensible and i will certainly experiment with it in my future projects.

It depends on how much you use it.. for me, once it plays up a bit i see it as a sign that the machine needs cleaning… so usually, once a month.

Have you oiled it recently?

Sure you can message me in facebook messenger, it’s Chari Lilley’s Art
