Ratings & Reviews
Frequently Asked Questions
Let us help with the answers.
Can I use metal bobbins in this machine?
No, the Janome 5060QDC is designed for plastic bobbins only. Using metal bobbins may damage the hook system or affect stitch performance.
How do I adjust the timing on the Janome HD2200?
Timing issues are best handled by a professional technician. If your machine is skipping stitches or the needle isn’t catching the thread, we recommend booking a service with a qualified Janome specialist rather than adjusting it yourself.
