Follow the color-coded threading paths indicated on the machine. Ensure all threads are seated correctly in their tension discs and guides. The tension release device can be engaged by lifting the presser foot lifter to its highest position, which helps in smooth threading.
Needle Installation
Use only Schmetz ELx705 needles as recommended by Janome. Incorrect needles can lead to skipped stitches or machine damage. Insert needles with the flat side facing the back of the machine, ensuring they are pushed all the way up before tightening the screw.

Issolvi l-problemi
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Janome Cover Pro 1000CPX.
Skipped Stitches or Fabric Stalling
If your machine is skipping stitches or the fabric is not feeding properly, especially with knit fabrics, it might be due to the feed dogs not being in their uppermost position. This can happen during manufacturing or if they shift over time.
Soluzzjoni:
- Unplug the machine for safety.
- Open the side cover of the machine to access the internal mechanisms.
- Locate the two screws that hold the metal plate for the back feed dogs.
- Loosen these two screws slightly.
- Gently push the feed dogs (the serrated metal bars under the presser foot) all the way up to their highest position. You may need a small screwdriver or tool to help lift them.
- While holding the feed dogs in the uppermost position, tighten the two screws securely.
- Close the side cover and test the machine. This adjustment should ensure proper fabric feeding and eliminate skipped stitches.
