I found your blog today when I was doing yet more searching for any information I could find about the Janome Novum Deluxe Mark X, which I bought in a charity shop and have cleaned and oiled etc. Your machine being a Mark IX is the closet I've come! A long shot - but, have you ever come across a Mark X?

Try this ...To <b>Sally Ahern</b> sorry for my late reply!<br /><br />Try this tip (below), from this link - I hope that it helps :-): <b><a href="http://www.singerco.com/support/frequently-asked-questions" rel="nofollow">http://www.singerco.com/support/frequently-asked-questions</a></b><br /><br />Make sure the presser foot is <b>up</b> when seating the <b>thread</b> through the upper tension. Now, it's time to draw <b>up</b> your <b>bobbin thread</b>. Turn the handwheel (TOWARDS YOU ONLY, never turn the handwheel away from you) and hold the needle <b>thread</b> lightly. Tug on it as the needle goes down and then comes up again.<br /><br />---------------------<br /><b>Q.Why won’t my machine pick up the bobbin thread?</b><br /><br /><b>A.</b> We get this question a lot. Don’t worry…easy fixes below!<br /><br />First, make sure the bobbin-winding spindle (located on top of your machine) has been pushed back to the left for sewing. If it is not in the correct position, the needle will not go down and pick-up your bobbin thread.<br /><br />Next, make sure your needle is inserted correctly, as far as it will go, with the flat side facing back. Also, make sure your bobbin is in correctly (not backwards) and that the upper tension disks of your machine are threaded correctly. Make sure the presser foot is up when seating the thread through the upper tension.<br /><br />Now, it’s time to draw up your bobbin thread.<br /><br />Turn the handwheel (TOWARDS YOU ONLY, never turn the handwheel away from you) and hold the needle thread lightly. Tug on it as the needle goes down and then comes up again. You should see a small loop come up through the needle plate (this is your bobbin thread), using the tip of a narrow object like a pencil or scissors, pull the loop up and then pull both threads (top and bobbin) under the foot and toward the back of the machine.<br /><br />If the above troubleshooting tips did not solve your issues, you may need to have your machine repaired for timing. If the timing is out, the needle thread is not meeting the bobbin thread in time to form a stitch.Claire (aka Seemane)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05175575205044308437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3949413743239587665.post-36225020910557470482017-04-28T22:03:40.426+01:002017-04-28T22:03:40.426+01:00To commenter #9 (Unknown): I have a PDF copy of th...To commenter #9 (Unknown): I have a PDF copy of the Novum Mark III sewing machine manual here: <b><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2Wg8u0BpVn-cEE5Rm02UmpsLUk/view?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow">https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2Wg8u0BpVn-cEE5Rm02UmpsLUk/view?usp=sharing</a></b> it was sent to me by someone I contacted on eBay who was selling the machine a couple of years ago - and I asked them if they would kindly forward me a copy for my own machine :-)Claire (aka Seemane)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05175575205044308437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3949413743239587665.post-66038514854766023772017-03-24T22:06:39.849+00:002017-03-24T22:06:39.849+00:00Hello claire - I have an old novum - and I'm n...Hello claire - I have an old novum - and I'm not able to pick up the bobbin string with the needle- I have threaded it correctly, the bobbin seems correct but it's just not picking it up - any tips welcome.

You'll need to use strong needles - Denim needles in size 16 are made from harder metal and can cope with piercing thick layers well. I paid around £50 for my machine. It's a very solid, strong machine - and easy to use. Don't pay more than that for this model - many sellers online over inflate the price of the machine. It's great, but not worth £200+ IMHO :-)<br />Claire (aka Seemane)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05175575205044308437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3949413743239587665.post-7966956880910908152016-02-07T21:35:48.985+00:002016-02-07T21:35:48.985+00:00Hi,

I need a machine that can make zig-zag locking stitches (which thanks to the manual you uploaded I can see this machine will do), for sail making. I'm just not sure if this machine will work with heavy materials like canvas or dacron etc.<br />I'm not planning on becoming a professional sail maker so I don't want to fork out for an industrial machine with an astronomical price tag. This is for hobby use only.<br />Do you think this machine would suit my needs.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Tash.Tashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14980584647018768956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3949413743239587665.post-16033025386825558182016-02-02T22:40:56.652+00:002016-02-02T22:40:56.652+00:00Hi Victoria! I'm so sorry to hear of your thre...Hi Victoria! I'm so sorry to hear of your threading woes :-(. This might help you I hope... after you've threaded both the top thread and after you've pulled the thread from the bobbin (on the bottom of your machine) through to the needleplate ---> Grab both of the 2 threads, then pull them gently towards the back of your machine (directly behind the Presser-foot) so that you have around 10-15cm (4-6 inches) of thread. Next, place your fabric under the presser-foot, lower the foot, turn the hand-wheel slowly and gently towards yourself until the needle is inserted into the fabric. Then, whilst gently holding the 2 threads with your right-hand, and gently holding the fabric onto the machine with your left-hand (holding it close to the foot) start the machine slowly and steadily using the pedal. By holding the threads in your hand at the start of sewing (for the first 3-4 stitches) you achieve 2 useful things: 1) the threads are not too short - and they don't get withdrawn back out of the eye of the needle when you start stitching (if you watch the 'Thread take up lever' as the machine is started you'll notice that as it travels up/down it drags/moves the upper thread - if the thread through the needle is too short then when the Lever moves upwards when you make your first stitch the movement causes it to literally yank the thread backwards through the needle). 2) Holding the threads at the start of a line of stitching you will stop them from getting tangled up into a birds-nest underneath too<br /><br />I hope that this helps!
