Bobbin Winding
In order to ensure correct bobbin winding, follow
the above diagram for correct threading. Use both
hands to thread machine around the guide for
correct tension.
Pro tip: Because different brands of thread unwind
in various manners, sometimes it is helpful to lightly
hold the thread as it comes off the spool. This will
help create smooth and tightly wound bobbins -
which is important for a good stitch.
Top Threading
Before you begin to thread, make sure the presser
foot is in the up position and the needle is at the
highest position. Lift the foot by using the presser
foot lifter behind the machine. To raise the needle,
always turn the handwheel on the right side of
the machine toward you. This will help ensure that
the threading guides are in the proper position to
receive the thread and the needle threader will line
up with the eye of the needle.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Janome HD-1000.
We’ve compiled a few tips that will help you get the most out of
your new purchase and increase your enjoyment of sewing.
Using the Needle Threader
Raise the needle to its highest position. Pull down the needle threader knob as far as it will go. Turn the
knob in the direction of the arrow in the second illustration, then insert the Hook into the needle eye.
Lead the thread around the Guide and under the Hook. Turn the knob in the direction of the arrow in the
third illustration, drawing the thread loop through the needle. Pull the thread through the needle eye.

QUICK START CHECK GUIDE FOR SEWING
• Always use good quality thread
• Use the correct size/type of needle
for the fabric you are stitching.
(We recommend Janome or
Schmetz needles.)
• Wind the bobbin evenly on
the machine
• It is essential to use the correct
bobbins as generic bobbins may
cause damage to your machine.
Before connecting the power cord, make
sure the voltage and frequency shown
on the machine conform to your power.
1. Turn off the power switch.
2. Insert the machine plug into the
machine socket.
3. Insert the power supply plug into
the outlet.
4. Turn on the power switch to turn
on the power and sewing light.

If you are experiencing a problem with your machine it is important to check the
above procedures before returning it to the store. Should you have any queries
please contact our Customer Service Department helpline on 0161 666 6011.
TOP TIPS
ALWAYS TURN THE HANDWHEEL TOWARDS YOU
– Counter clockwise.
NO POWER
Check main power supply is turned on, foot control is connected.
MACHINE NOT FEEDING FABRIC
Check the Feed Dogs are raised and clean. These are the teeth under the presser
foot that feed the fabric when stitching. When the drop feed lever is moved from the
lowered position to the raised position the feed teeth do not come up at the needle
plate until you turn the balance wheel towards you.
Check stitch length is set for the correct weight of fabric
SKIPPED / BAD STITCHING:
Rethread the machine with the presser foot raised and the take up
lever in the highest position. Follow the threading guides and check
the thread is in the take up lever.
Check – the needle is inserted correctly, (flat side to the back)
Check – the needle is not bent or blunt and is the correct type of needle
Check – the tension setting is correct (average setting for a straight stitch is approx. 4)
Check – the tension disc area is clean
Check – the bobbin is placed in bobbin case correctly
Follow these simple steps and you’ll soon be enjoying your new project…
Happy Sewing!
