why when I'm sewing does it slow down and come to a stop?

hmm...maybe check and see if your connection to your foot pedal is ok, could need oiling...maybe needs a trip to your local service to check feed dogs...

If it happens while pressing the button on the handle then don't hold the button so long. if it's stopping for another reason then I have no answer.

Reinsert your bobbin and make sure you have it caught in the slot on bobbin case.After that hand turn your machine over.Rotate the wheel forward to go down into the bobbin case area.Thread should rotate around and be caught up by the sewing machine hook.Than the bobbin thread should come to the top.If this doesn't happen your timing on your machine might have been push off. Did you try to sew a really heavy fabric or thickness.This can move the timing out of placement.It will require having it checked by a sewing machine repairman.But first recheck that both top and bottom thread are threaded correctly.Also check your needle to see if it is bent or worn.Replacement is the easiest test. Also check to see if there is a lot of lint build up in the bobbin area.It can be cleaned out with canned air. How long have you had your machine and how much have you used it? Without seeing the machine I'm guessing at possible causes of problems with the machine.Did you have any problem with the tension before this problem came up?

I am a new serger user, so all I can do is guess based on problems that I solved on other sewing machines. Check you needles and make sure they are not bent or rubbing. Clean all lint and dust. Rethread using manual as guide. I usually find my problem when I do those three things. Please let us know how the problem is solved when it is. :) Good luck!

I use mine on an embroidery machine. I have not had an issue with it .Embroidery sews rather fast.so can't answer question as to how fast is slow.

Does the blade stop as soon as you begin your cut or after you get into the cut? If it is after you get into the cut, the blade is probably getting pinched or in a bind. Be sure to support both sides of the material you are cutting. If it is stopping as soon as it makes contact with what you are cutting, there is probably a problem with the saw.

The two beeps are to tell you to stop sewing as the machine is having problems with feed, thread etc. Usually the only time mine beeps and quits is when I have sewn too fast and created a massive nest of knotted stitches below the fabric from the bobbin. If you have the manual page 54 lists needle thread problems. if you don't have the manual go to Janome.com and select the USA site, then go to search at the top of the page of the sewing machines and type in DC5100 , hit search button and it will take you to specific info re DC5100 and then you can see the instruction book. Hope this helps. EES

That "Ping" you hear is the iron shutting off. I know when I got my first one, I was concerned, until I realized that's what it was doing. Say for instance, if you are sewing working on a project, you have your iron on and at the ready. If I hear the "ping" I know that it had sat idle and the auto shut off engaged. I think it also "pings" when you intentionally shut it off. Sounds like a spring sprunging doesn't it?

Hey Stanley, it shouldn't stop at all until the time you set is up. If its stopping then you have a hardware problem with your Airfryer.

I know this is a very old message, but apparently this is a common issue with this machine...You press the foot pedal and first it just make some noise, then the machine starts at maximum speed... Well, I've discovered that if before pressing the pedal you lower the needle (by rotating the wheel towards you) until it's in a low position (either near the fabrick, or sticking a bit into it), then the machine will start, slowly, if you press the pedal slightly...You won't need to press a lot, and it will be easier to control speed. I hope this will be useful to people having this problem with this machine...

Try putting your needle position on zero one. That should solve the problem.

Andrew, is it possible you are turning the handle too quickly? It takes a slow, steady, "gentle" turn ... I don't know if that will help. (Also, if you turn the handle counter-clockwise, you are only supposed to go 1/4 turn (or something like that; not far or can hurt machine).

Try adjusting the tension piece that is attached to the pull lever. Sometimes it needs a little adjusting to pull the wire to start theotor

Tiny slow close and then it stops and hovers until you manually push it close.

I have not had any issues with this so far. I slow my machine down some and that seems to be the trick. Hope that helps!

Mine does not slip around at all. Maybe you could sew one of the seams tighter. No other ideas. Sorry.

I have not had that problem but I don't wear it all day long. I wear it when I am sewing for maybe 3-5 hours.
