This video was very informative. Thank you. But I could not see where you were putting the oil. You should insert a close up with good lighting so we can do it properly .. Everything else was GREAT!!
Whilst I really do think it’s great having some “how to” tutorials I think it would be better if you are able to do a better camera angle on the areas where you are pointing with the end of the brush. I can’t really see where you mean. I honestly do not mean this in any other way than constructively. Thank you for putting this together.
Very very good video. Thanks janome. I'm lubricant my plaire 10 and it's fabulous now. Just one point for improve tutorial is in 3:31 the point of lubricant bottle going to nowhere in darkness :))) so if it'll probably more clear to where is the needle bar and where we should lubricant more accurate it'll be amazing.
Mohammed, we are sorry it is difficult to see that part of the video - we always recommend referencing the instruction manual that came with your specific machine to ensure you are oiling in the right spot. They definitely vary! Happy Sewing!
Five years! Of sewing and I had no idea how to clean my Janome DC5100. The lint was like felt in the bobbin it was thick., thank you for machine saving video!!
There are 2 other wicks in the top of your machine. Unscrew and search until you find both, one to the right of center near the main shaft and one tucked up in a gear area to the left of center. If it is white, yellow, and dry put at least 4 drops over the course of 5 minutes. Many machines are sold with dry upper wicks. We all know about the wick under the bobbin but I only found out about the upper wicks from a serviceman that came to do all my machines.

After watch this video, im so grateful to have teachers to show me the correct way to oil my Janome machines. I bought the Janome machines from them and learn to use the machine in their classes. Every month they will held oil servicing Janome machines classes for all students who would like to attend

Great tips - thank you! Hope we get to see more of these types of videos. Would love it if there were videos for the 15000. Possibly a Janome rep could create videos so that we get the full potential of the 15000. Thank you.
I recently purchased a Sewist 725s, after doing a good amount of research on mechanical machines. Wanted to stay away from the computerized machines, for me there is just way TOO much that can go wrong with them! My 725s is a workhorse, it's wonderful to sew with this machine. I've been looking for information about maintaining the machine and there's not much available. The owner's manual doesn't even include basic information such as the size of the bobbins! I am so surprised. Anyway, I'm glad I found this, I plan to look at the other vids and see what's there. Thanks for posting.
I would add that if your machine does not come with the little oil container, you should check with your Janome dealer before applying oil anywhere to your machine. My dealer does not recommend that customers oil most of the Janome's.
They are afraid the consumer will use the wrong type of lubrication.. Plus, the fee to have them perform the task is a bonus.. I own a Janome 10001 and two 9000 machines. I purchased the professional service manuals and they tell a very different story .. They need lubrication.. I only use "tri-flow" oil and grease...

I have a video that shows you all about how to do this so your bobbin case is properly inserted. You can find it at th-cam.com/video/t0jZpJ8ZT6M/w-d-xo.html
This was very helpful. When I cleaned my machine I saw the wick you were talking about and thought maybe I should oil it but the dealer told me I don’t need to oil the machine. I also know we’re the needle bar is located from cleaning the upper area. Now I will oil before I start sewing today. Thanks for the video it answered my questions.

You can, really shouldn't need to. That brush grabs it pretty well. Take a look at you bobbin area after every project for a while and you'll develop a good sense of what fabrics take how long to get it fuzzy in there.
This is the best video I found for clear demonstration on how to clean and oil the machine. It would be nice if she got a better shot when she said that she "turned the bobbin holder to a position that lined up in the back," prior to putting the bobbin back in. I couldn't see what she was lining up in the back of the bobbin holder. Still 2 thumbs up for this video. I made it through cleaning my machine
Thank you for all your Videos:) I hope you do more Janome Educational Videos. I always watch the Videos before I share them with my Customers. I like how thoroughly you represent the Janome Machines. You always explain and give very important details. Look forward to new ones. Thank you!!!
I have a 9450. It did not come with oil, and the manual does not mention oil at all. The manual also says that the thread guide at the top of the machine should be cleaned regularly. That was not mentioned in this video at all, and would have been helpful to see...I struggle to pop that cover off and back in place.

How do you get the nose cover off? I revoved the screw from the back of the 2030, but there is some sort of clip holding it in place behind the thread take up lever , under the #3 on the cover. Forcing it will only break the clip. Please help!

Hello! I got a Janome lovely lilac mashine about two month's ago. I was wondering if I need to oil my mashine because my manual doesn't say anything about oiling. My mashine has been making a loud sound when the needle moves up and down any suggestions?
My new to me Janome DC3050 instruction book has NO oiling instructions. How do I open the front? I did not know there was such a thing as a wick, thought it was jammed in lint, tugged it out. How do i fix??
Kristine, if the instruction manual does not have oiling instructions, machine oiling is done during your machines service at your dealer - it is a closed system. It is ok to put a tiny drop of oil on the wick that you mentioned - since you removed yours, please have another one installed at your local Janome dealer.
If you are a comfortable do it yourselfer, look online for wick for your machine, put oil on it and put it in If that idea scares you, take it to your service center. The oil is necessary to lubricate and prevent wear to moving metal parts.
I can't figure out how to open the face cover. The manual doesn't mention it and this video skips over that step. I've removed the screw from the back but it still doesn't open.
There are also 2 wicks in the top of the machine that need to be oiled every 3 months if you use your machine regularly. These wicks are essential to the motor and shaft. Unscrew your top 2 screws (I have a 6600pro, 1600P, several 2350) and you will see a wick on the shaft to the right of center and a wick tucked up in a gear area on the left of center. If you do not see them, get a flashlight and look until you find them. Many machines are sold with dry wicks... so take a look, your machine will thank you.
Hello! We always strongly recommend our owners read their owners manual in reference to oiling - newer machines are a closed system and oiling can only be completed by a service tech, so this advice is not applicable to all machines.
@@JanomeJAI I listed my Janome machines that have wicks needing oil. Never have I seen Janome youtube for 6600P, 1600P, 2531 oiling the upper wicks - your owners would benefit as would their machines.
@@JanomeJAI Owner's manuals should include all the wicks that need to be oiled by the owner or the technician; it should be an owner's decision. Simply identify all the necessary service and how to do it. Empower your owners to care for their machines. I own 6 Janome machines and only recently did a tech show me how to care for my own machines. Very doable. Why withhold this info from the manual?
Janome wants the consumer to take it to a service person and have it done. It's all about making money... I have a Janome 10001 and a couple of 9000 machines, and purchased the service manuals ( on eBay ) ... Those tell quite a different story- they need oiling, cleaning and grease.. I would recommend only using "Tri-flow" oil and grease
Yes. If you are fortunate to have a good service tech near by, take it in. I like to be able to do general maintenance myself because I use my machines everyday for hours.

For Janome Sewist 525s. Please advise how to open the top panel. I unscrewed the screw on the left side but the plastic piece does not open. Do I need to pull harder, i'm worried i may break my machine! There is a squeeky sound when I am sewing so i'm assuming the machine needs more oiling. Also if you could advise me on what page of the instruction manual is the info. about oiling. I did not see it. Thanks in advance!
Miriam, when I purchased my 9000 and my 11000 I was told to never oil these machines, to take it to the dealer for yearly maintenance and oiling. This I have always done, but just curious as to whether they can be oiled as you demonstrated in the video.
Hello Dwight. Great question! Check the manual for your two machines. If adding oil occasionally between yearly maintenance is required it will tell you the exact process within each manual.
Waere schon , wenn die Videos auch in Deutscher Sprache umgesetzt werden, denn es gibt noch viele Deutsche, die waehrend der Schulzeit kein Englisch gelernt haben. Da das in den Schulen nicht unterrichtet wurde. Denken Sie mal darüber nach, denn Janome-Naehmaschinen sind auch in Deutschland sehr beliebt und haben einen guten Absatz. Natuerlich mit Videos in Deutscher Sprache. Denn dann sind sie auch die bei uns noch interessanter. Gerne erwarte ich Ihre Antwort. Mit freundlichen Grüßen
@@JanomeJAI Well, I also have a MC 9000 and a MC8900QCP, neither of which have instructions in the manual regarding oiling, and I was also told not to oil my machines. I just downloaded the manual for the machine that she is working on as well, and there is also no mention of oiling in the maintenance section. So, now I really confused.
@@gretchenyoung801 Get a service manual... They need cleaning and oiling. I have a 10001 and two 9000 machines. I bought the service manuals from eBay and I keep them cleaned and lubed ( only use "Tri-Flow" oil and lube ). The service manual tells quite a different story regarding lubrication.... It is as though Janome believes we are idiots.. They want to make money from the maintenance fees ( some people may do stupid things like use 3-in one oil, but so do some service technicians )...

Always refer to your Instruction manual - care is typically in the back of the book. Many of our new models do not need oiling by their owners since it is a sealed system inside. The machine is oiled during your annual or bi-annual service at your authorized Janome dealer.

I've had my Janome DC 3050 for over 2 yrs. I bought it at a rummage sale thinking it would be my back-up machine... OMGoodness! while sewing masks, it has become my 'go-to' machine. It handles the bulk of the pleats with NO bogging down, no hesitations of any kind!!! I'm now just finding out all of the functions and am THRILLED I got this work horse when I did. Just sorry it took me so long to begin using it. I came to this website because i was getting a squeak when sewing and decided it had to be time to clean and oil...the accessories box did come with a tube of the oil. I was able to 'assume' where to oil since I've done my own maintenance on other machines. But I agree, it was impossible to see where the oil was to be placed. Also, I've heard if the machine didn't come with oil, don't oil it. The squeak did go away and, it was LONG past due for cleaning!!!

Great video but not so much for a beginner. Better camera angle and close ups would give us a visual of where to oil. Hopefully a more helpful video will come out soon.
My machine isn't drop in bobbin, and the front of the bottom doesn't open like this,Not to mention how difficult it is to open the front which is deeper than the one that you are using. I know that there are other models, kindly display the method for them.
Anne, we do manufacture both top-loading and side loading bobbin machines. For these reasons, we didn't include this information in our brief overview. We highly recommend referencing your instruction manual for oiling and cleaning instructions, and also your local authorized Janome dealer. Typically this information is found towards the back of your instruction manual.
My instruction book says absolutely nothing about oiling my M7 and oil came with my machine. I have been told in the past for my previous machine never to oil it. I would think if I was supposed to oil it, it would say so in the manual. This just has to be wrong or the instruction manual needs to be rewritten. I can't believe something this important would be wrong.
@@kristenmahle5047 Janome does not want the consumer oiling the machines... Two reasons.. One is that they may use the wrong oil and grease. Secondly, they want to make money on the service fee.. Purchase the service manual on eBay if you can and only use "Tri-flow" oil and grease.. They do need to be cleaned, oiled and greased... They will wear out faster if not lubricated... Think of your automobile, would you not change the oil ??? The "self lubricating" claim is a joke, they simply do not want the consumer playing with the machine .. The oil Janome uses is a long lasting synthetic oil, but they need lubrication..
They need to be oiled and lubricated.. Janome only wants the dealer to perform this task.. Firstly, the consumer may use the wrong oil, and secondly Janome wants to make money on the service fee..

Due to poor lighting and camera angle, I couldn’t see where to oil. Also need a close up of the position of the race before replacing the bobbin case. Also, no mention was made of lining up the color spots on the bobbin case and the race.
I have been sewing on my Janome 525S happily for a few years and I clean it regularly. but I was under the impression that I *shouldn't* oil it. Oops - I guess I should have been oiling it right along!
This is the one I've got. Came here looking for help getting the stitch plate off - the angle is too tight for the screwdriver? Sadly this video hasn't helped on that one ...
Candy, always refer to your manual to answer this question. Page 98 of your manual does have instructions for cleaning, but not oiling. Some machine models have closed parts, and for them oiling is part of your service, and is not done at home.

Hello Janice, Thank you for choosing Janome 😊 Thread choice is completely up to you! Different projects can require different thread weights and materials. Please check the pattern you are using for recommended thread type. Be sure to clean you machine and take it to your Janome Dealer for servicing once a year to keep it in tip top running condition!
@@JanomeJAI thank you for clarifying. Someone who works on machines in a quilt store said I should use only low or lint free thread. You just saved me from throwing out a bunch of thread. Hope you have a great rest of your day.

Not my business, but, I am going to say it anyway. Sweetie, embrace your natural beauty. Your strange hair color detracts from your wholesome, natural beauty-- Your perfect skin, lush hair and beautiful eyes. Consider going natural in your hair color. Sorry, none of my business but this is social media and this is where everyone can express their opinion (whether or not it is welcome or not). Great video, by the way.
I love your hair-it sets you apart, and makes you recognized in the industry-it is your brand-- especially in the social media industry! Kudos.... You are is easily recognized. Janome is OK with it, so am I. Love your videos! Just my two cents worth.
Actually, I found it a bit distracting to the video itself - which was cleaning the machine. If a video about colorful hair - it would be perfect. But that's just me. I still enjoyed the video. IMO, this kind of video, the person's face doesn't need to be seen at all - just what they are doing.
Someone’s personal appearance hasn’t a damn thing to do with it. This is mean-spirited, and highly inaccurate. You wear your hair however you damn well please. If people can’t see past your look to the value you are bringing, that’s their loss. (PS but the camera angle and lighting for the fiddly bits is an *actual* problem.
Your hair and make up are a bit startling at first, but not so much after watching more of your videos. Anyway, it’s rather bright and cheerful! You have a pleasing voice and give an excellent presentation. I’m a 71 year old woman and find you to be quite refreshing in every way. Janome has every reason to be proud of you, so keep it up!!
This would be a great video if I could see where the oiling spots and bobbin location etc were when they are talked about!

If it is white, yellow, and dry put at least 4 drops over the course of 5 minutes. Many machines are sold with dry upper wicks. We all know about the wick under the bobbin but I only found out about the upper wicks from a serviceman that came to do all my machines.
Great tips - thank you! Hope we get to see more of these types of videos. Would love it if there were videos for the 15000. Possibly a Janome rep could create videos so that we get the full potential of the 15000. Thank you.
Hi Betty
I recently purchased a Sewist 725s, after doing a good amount of research on mechanical machines. Wanted to stay away from the computerized machines, for me there is just way TOO much that can go wrong with them! My 725s is a workhorse, it's wonderful to sew with this machine. I've been looking for information about maintaining the machine and there's not much available. The owner's manual doesn't even include basic information such as the size of the bobbins! I am so surprised. Anyway, I'm glad I found this, I plan to look at the other vids and see what's there. Thanks for posting.
I would add that if your machine does not come with the little oil container, you should check with your Janome dealer before applying oil anywhere to your machine. My dealer does not recommend that customers oil most of the Janome's.
And the manual. I just check mine and in the section on cleaning it says: "The machine does not require oiling."
The professional repair manual tells quite a different story.. Janome simply wants you to take the machine in and pay a fee to have it lubricated...
They are afraid the consumer will use the wrong type of lubrication.. Plus, the fee to have them perform the task is a bonus.. I own a Janome 10001 and two 9000 machines. I purchased the professional service manuals and they tell a very different story .. They need lubrication.. I only use "tri-flow" oil and grease...
Hello Sandra
There are 2 other wicks in the top of your machine. Unscrew and search until you find both, one to the right of center near the main shaft and one tucked up in a gear area to the left of center. If it is white, yellow, and dry put at least 4 drops over the course of 5 minutes. Many machines are sold with dry upper wicks. We all know about the wick under the bobbin but I only found out about the upper wicks from a serviceman that came to do all my machines.
We can't see the position is to put the bobbin case back in ... :-(
I have a video that shows you all about how to do this so your bobbin case is properly inserted. You can find it at th-cam.com/video/t0jZpJ8ZT6M/w-d-xo.html
Before removing the bobbin case, make a mental note how it is positioned.

Thank you and I love Janome!!!
You information is good but the pictures aren't close enough.
This was very helpful. When I cleaned my machine I saw the wick you were talking about and thought maybe I should oil it but the dealer told me I don’t need to oil the machine. I also know we’re the needle bar is located from cleaning the upper area. Now I will oil before I start sewing today. Thanks for the video it answered my questions.
Hello, how are you doing my friend

I too was told never to oil my machine 9450 which I love. I do vac on soft speed now and then because lint can drop right to the bottom.
You said that canned air is not good, but could you use a vacuum cleaner to get rid of the dust and lint?
You can, really shouldn't need to. That brush grabs it pretty well. Take a look at you bobbin area after every project for a while and you'll develop a good sense of what fabrics take how long to get it fuzzy in there.
This is the best video I found for clear demonstration on how to clean and oil the machine. It would be nice if she got a better shot when she said that she "turned the bobbin holder to a position that lined up in the back," prior to putting the bobbin back in. I couldn't see what she was lining up in the back of the bobbin holder. Still 2 thumbs up for this video. I made it through cleaning my machine
Thank you for all your Videos:) I hope you do more Janome Educational Videos. I always watch the Videos before I share them with my Customers. I like how thoroughly you represent the Janome Machines. You always explain and give very important details. Look forward to new ones. Thank you!!!
I can not see where “next to the needle bar” is and the TH-cam bar covers where you’re showing the correct alignment of the replaced bobbin
I have a 9450. It did not come with oil, and the manual does not mention oil at all. The manual also says that the thread guide at the top of the machine should be cleaned regularly. That was not mentioned in this video at all, and would have been helpful to see...I struggle to pop that cover off and back in place.
Same, I have a 9450 also. No oil and the instruction book doesn't mention it either

I’m glad to learn about avoiding canned air, which i would have assumed was a great thing to use! Also, unrelated to the content of the video, but your hair is absolutely incredible! 🥰
If you turn the canned air container upside down when you spray it is fine to use. Also, there are 2 other wicks in the top of your machine.

Um hello how do u open the top of the machine!!
My Janome 9400 book says nothing about oiling by a needle bar. The store where I purchased my machine from showed me where to put one drop of oil in the bobbin case area.

Great video. I'm a beginner - can you tell me how often you should clean the machine?
I'm envious of this machine with the top loading bobbin casing. I have a front loading one and if you take it out, it's impossible to get back in.
Hello Jane
How do you get the nose cover off? I revoved the screw from the back of the 2030, but there is some sort of clip holding it in place behind the thread take up lever , under the #3 on the cover. Forcing it will only break the clip. Please help!
I have the same model, same problem. Did you find a way around it?
@@ACKnz Yes. After removing a ll the appropriate screws, I very carefully twisted the bottom rear of the nose cover slightly up. There is a snap sort of clip holding it at the top, so it will come out & snap back in to replace it. But do be careful.
@@rescuesk9s I will! Thank you!
perfect for small jobs in the garage
I couldn't see where she put the oil. Does little good.

Were you cleaning with your machine plugged in?
Unfortunately you cannot actually see where the oil goes in this video. Nor can you see where the bobbin position should be, so it isn't much good.
Thank you for your constructive feedback Sandra. It is definitely difficult to film a tight area - not all modern machines can be oiled by the owner, some are now closed systems and are only oiled by a service professional very infrequently. We do also sell both top-loading and side loading bobbin machines. For these reasons, we didn't include this information in our brief overview. We highly recommend referencing your instruction manual for oiling instructions, and also your local authorized Janome dealer.
Hello! I got a Janome lovely lilac mashine about two month's ago. I was wondering if I need to oil my mashine because my manual doesn't say anything about oiling. My mashine has been making a loud sound when the needle moves up and down any suggestions?
Terrible camera angle! Can’t see a single thing she’s talking about...
My new to me Janome DC3050 instruction book has NO oiling instructions. How do I open the front? I did not know there was such a thing as a wick, thought it was jammed in lint, tugged it out. How do i fix??
Kristine, if the instruction manual does not have oiling instructions, machine oiling is done during your machines service at your dealer - it is a closed system. It is ok to put a tiny drop of oil on the wick that you mentioned - since you removed yours, please have another one installed at your local Janome dealer.
I did not know that there was a wick and I pulled it out. What shall I do now?
If you are a comfortable do it yourselfer, look online for wick for your machine, put oil on it and put it in
If that idea scares you, take it to your service center. The oil is necessary to lubricate and prevent wear to moving metal parts.
I can't figure out how to open the face cover. The manual doesn't mention it and this video skips over that step. I've removed the screw from the back but it still doesn't open.
We recommend contacting your local Janome dealer for service, removing a part is typically done by a service technician.
There are also 2 wicks in the top of the machine that need to be oiled every 3 months if you use your machine regularly. These wicks are essential to the motor and shaft. Unscrew your top 2 screws (I have a 6600pro, 1600P, several 2350) and you will see a wick on the shaft to the right of center and a wick tucked up in a gear area on the left of center. If you do not see them, get a flashlight and look until you find them. Many machines are sold with dry wicks... so take a look, your machine will thank you.
Hello! We always strongly recommend our owners read their owners manual in reference to oiling - newer machines are a closed system and oiling can only be completed by a service tech, so this advice is not applicable to all machines.
@@JanomeJAI I listed my Janome machines that have wicks needing oil. Never have I seen Janome youtube for 6600P, 1600P, 2531 oiling the upper wicks - your owners would benefit as would their machines.
@@JanomeJAI Owner's manuals should include all the wicks that need to be oiled by the owner or the technician; it should be an owner's decision. Simply identify all the necessary service and how to do it. Empower your owners to care for their machines. I own 6 Janome machines and only recently did a tech show me how to care for my own machines. Very doable. Why withhold this info from the manual?
My Janome manual says do NOT oil the machine. Is that wrong
Janome wants the consumer to take it to a service person and have it done. It's all about making money... I have a Janome 10001 and a couple of 9000 machines, and purchased the service manuals ( on eBay ) ... Those tell quite a different story- they need oiling, cleaning and grease.. I would recommend only using "Tri-flow" oil and grease
Yes. If you are fortunate to have a good service tech near by, take it in. I like to be able to do general maintenance myself because I use my machines everyday for hours. So in addition to the wick under the bobbin, there are 2 other wicks in the top of your machine. Unscrew and search until you find both, one to the right of center near the main shaft and one tucked up in a gear area to the left of center.

It said how to remove plate which everyone knows but didnt say how to open the needle bar top bit
For Janome Sewist 525s. Please advise how to open the top panel.
I unscrewed the screw on the left side but the plastic piece does not open. Do I need to pull harder, i'm worried i may break my machine!
There is a squeeky sound when I am sewing so i'm assuming the machine needs more oiling.
Also if you could advise me on what page of the instruction manual is the info. about oiling. I did not see it. Thanks in advance!
That was the bobbin case and not the bobbin.
Hi mam! My machine bobin case holder is so losse and its rounding.. I can't sewing.. Please suggest me.. How I can? My machine name is Janome..
Will you please show me how sewing white elastic tread ?😊
ada, we have another video that discusses elastic thread at th-cam.com/video/8pQYKd-3kpk/w-d-xo.html. Happy Sewing!
I don’t remember seeing anything about oiling my 500e in the Manuel .Did I overlook something?
I am having a hard time fine a 1/4 foot for my new6650 Janome machines
Miriam, when I purchased my 9000 and my 11000 I was told to never oil these machines, to take it to the dealer for yearly maintenance and oiling. This I have always done, but just curious as to whether they can be oiled as you demonstrated in the video.
Hello Dwight. Great question! Check the manual for your two machines. If adding oil occasionally between yearly maintenance is required it will tell you the exact process within each manual.
Waere schon , wenn die Videos auch in Deutscher Sprache umgesetzt werden, denn es gibt noch viele Deutsche, die waehrend der Schulzeit kein Englisch gelernt haben. Da das in den Schulen nicht unterrichtet wurde. Denken Sie mal darüber nach, denn Janome-Naehmaschinen sind auch in Deutschland sehr beliebt und haben einen guten Absatz. Natuerlich mit Videos in Deutscher Sprache. Denn dann sind sie auch die bei uns noch interessanter. Gerne erwarte ich Ihre Antwort. Mit freundlichen Grüßen
@@JanomeJAI Well, I also have a MC 9000 and a MC8900QCP, neither of which have instructions in the manual regarding oiling, and I was also told not to oil my machines. I just downloaded the manual for the machine that she is working on as well, and there is also no mention of oiling in the maintenance section. So, now I really confused.
xXJokerAtWorkXx That’s what I’m thinking, although this being a Janome video, you’d think that they wouldn’t put such confusing info out there.
@@gretchenyoung801 Get a service manual... They need cleaning and oiling. I have a 10001 and two 9000 machines. I bought the service manuals from eBay and I keep them cleaned and lubed ( only use "Tri-Flow" oil and lube ). The service manual tells quite a different story regarding lubrication.... It is as though Janome believes we are idiots.. They want to make money from the maintenance fees ( some people may do stupid things like use 3-in one oil, but so do some service technicians )...
Couldn’t see anything you were doing 😡
I agree. Why is the camera on your face instead of each step and all the parts of machine you are touching with either hand
Bobbin goes into the chase. You were cleaning the chase
Would be great if I could find a video relating to my Janome New Home on where to oil
Do you have your sewing machine's manual?
Manual doesn’t point out where to oil the machine either.
@@serenitymoon8687 Is your model a mechanical or computerized sewing machine? The manuals for the computerized machines will have a notation in the manual not to oil at home.

My memory craft 9700 did not come with oil. The book doesn't even mention oiling it. Do all machines need oil? Is so, it should be in the manual.
Always refer to your Instruction manual - care is typically in the back of the book. Many of our new models do not need oiling by their owners since it is a sealed system inside. The machine is oiled during your annual or bi-annual service at your authorized Janome dealer.
can you teach how and where to oil my memory craft 11000, please? I don´t have technicians here where I live for this machine since it wasn´t produced here.
Try and find a "professional service manual"... I have a # 10001 and two 9000 machines, bought the manuals and service them myself.

I've had my Janome DC 3050 for over 2 yrs. I bought it at a rummage sale thinking it would be my back-up machine... OMGoodness! while sewing masks, it has become my 'go-to' machine. It handles the bulk of the pleats with NO bogging down, no hesitations of any kind!!! I'm now just finding out all of the functions and am THRILLED I got this work horse when I did. Just sorry it took me so long to begin using it.
I came to this website because i was getting a squeak when sewing and decided it had to be time to clean and oil...the accessories box did come with a tube of the oil. I was able to 'assume' where to oil since I've done my own maintenance on other machines. But I agree, it was impossible to see where the oil was to be placed. Also, I've heard if the machine didn't come with oil, don't oil it.
The squeak did go away and, it was LONG past due for cleaning!!!

what about the motor, does it need anything or is it sealed for life?
Darcy, any oiling of the motor would be done by an authorized Service professional. Janome motors do not need to be oiled at home. Happy Sewing!
Can’t see needle bar or bobbin case placement-anyone know a better video on this?
Pls show me how to open janome 230e machine.
Victor, this model has been discontinued. Please check with your local Authorized Janome Dealer for any assistance with this machine.
Great video but not so much for a beginner. Better camera angle and close ups would give us a visual of where to oil. Hopefully a more helpful video will come out soon.
Hi D’Aun, We appreciate your input! Will will keep this in mind when we are updating future videos!
It would be helpful if you could actually see what your pointing at. It just looks like a black hole.
so where is the butt on to pop it off? I can't seem to find it on the machine or the book??
Which sewing machine are you using - please let us know so we can assist further - thank you!
Our Janome is Front loading
I want to save this email
My machine isn't drop in bobbin, and the front of the bottom doesn't open like this,Not to mention how difficult it is to open the front which is deeper than the one that you are using.
I know that there are other models, kindly display the method for them.
Anne, we do manufacture both top-loading and side loading bobbin machines. For these reasons, we didn't include this information in our brief overview. We highly recommend referencing your instruction manual for oiling and cleaning instructions, and also your local authorized Janome dealer. Typically this information is found towards the back of your instruction manual.
My instruction book says absolutely nothing about oiling my M7 and oil came with my machine. I have been told in the past for my previous machine never to oil it. I would think if I was supposed to oil it, it would say so in the manual. This just has to be wrong or the instruction manual needs to be rewritten. I can't believe something this important would be wrong.
I meant NO oil came with my machine
Lots of janomes are self-oiling. My instruction manual even specifically says "do not oil". You may want to check with a dealer before oiling :)
@@kristenmahle5047 Janome does not want the consumer oiling the machines... Two reasons.. One is that they may use the wrong oil and grease. Secondly, they want to make money on the service fee.. Purchase the service manual on eBay if you can and only use "Tri-flow" oil and grease.. They do need to be cleaned, oiled and greased... They will wear out faster if not lubricated... Think of your automobile, would you not change the oil ??? The "self lubricating" claim is a joke, they simply do not want the consumer playing with the machine .. The oil Janome uses is a long lasting synthetic oil, but they need lubrication..

Excellent video!!!
I have been sewing on my Janome 525S happily for a few years and I clean it regularly. but I was under the impression that I *shouldn't* oil it. Oops - I guess I should have been oiling it right along!
This is the one I've got. Came here looking for help getting the stitch plate off - the angle is too tight for the screwdriver? Sadly this video hasn't helped on that one ...
Use a dime coin on those beveled screws if you can’t get the screwdriver you have to do it.
Thank you so much ❤️
I have a Memory Craft 6650 and it did not come with any oil. Do I still need to oil my machine?
Candy, always refer to your manual to answer this question. Page 98 of your manual does have instructions for cleaning, but not oiling. Some machine models have closed parts, and for them oiling is part of your service, and is not done at home.

Does my new Janome need lint free thread?
Hello Janice, Thank you for choosing Janome 😊 Thread choice is completely up to you! Different projects can require different thread weights and materials. Please check the pattern you are using for recommended thread type. Be sure to clean you machine and take it to your Janome Dealer for servicing once a year to keep it in tip top running condition!
@@JanomeJAI thank you for clarifying. Someone who works on machines in a quilt store said I should use only low or lint free thread. You just saved me from throwing out a bunch of thread. Hope you have a great rest of your day.

Surely the machine should not be switched on!
There are no instructions for oiling my horizon 89000 so I assumed it didn't need oiling

Poor camera angles and hiding the cleaning with her hand. Oiling points were not adequately shown. Overall poor video, but thanks for thinking of us.
Yeah can't see anything
Not my business, but, I am going to say it anyway. Sweetie, embrace your natural beauty. Your strange hair color detracts from your wholesome, natural beauty-- Your perfect skin, lush hair and beautiful eyes. Consider going natural in your hair color. Sorry, none of my business but this is social media and this is where everyone can express their opinion (whether or not it is welcome or not). Great video, by the way.
I love your hair-it sets you apart, and makes you recognized in the industry-it is your brand-- especially in the social media industry! Kudos.... You are is easily recognized. Janome is OK with it, so am I. Love your videos! Just my two cents worth.
Actually, I found it a bit distracting to the video itself - which was cleaning the machine. If a video about colorful hair - it would be perfect. But that's just me. I still enjoyed the video. IMO, this kind of video, the person's face doesn't need to be seen at all - just what they are doing.
Someone’s personal appearance hasn’t a damn thing to do with it. This is mean-spirited, and highly inaccurate. You wear your hair however you damn well please. If people can’t see past your look to the value you are bringing, that’s their loss. (PS but the camera angle and lighting for the fiddly bits is an *actual* problem.
Your hair and make up are a bit startling at first, but not so much after watching more of your videos. Anyway, it’s rather bright and cheerful! You have a pleasing voice and give an excellent presentation. I’m a 71 year old woman and find you to be quite refreshing in every way. Janome has every reason to be proud of you, so keep it up!!
Useless couldn't see where the exact point to oiling 😒
Can’t see the points she’s talking about. Not a good tutorial
