Make sure your embroidery foot is properly on and screwed onto the machine, if not properly placed on it will break/bend needles. Also there are certain size needles for types of fabric, cotton types use needle size 80/90, for heavier like fleece, layers or quilted items use 100 size. Hope this helps. Also check to make sure your bobbin is not affected, the needle going down can nest in the bobbin and make a big mess in that area.

I would suggest looking online or just buy a new gun since they are so cheap? If you think it may be broke, first try taking it out. My sister thought she broke the needle and it was actually just jammed.

I've never had a problem like this, it sounds almost like the thread is damaged. LContact the manufacturer. I find this the best accessory I've ever purchased for my DSLR

Mine also lost air, I pumped it up once but when it lost air again I could not pump it up. I have just recieved a new one directly from the Gypsy Quilter. I emailed them and they said I could send it back and they would send a new one, I will see how this works.

E-mail the company Craftwell, I actually just had to do the same for a different problem, they were extremely helpful. I love this machine it's incredible and I told them so, they were ready to check it out. Try it you have nothing to lose. Good luck!

I'm sorry that happened to you. My machine still works fine except the long black tube keeps coming out. I finally duct taped it back together. Have you contacted the seller about it?

It's on the instruction book page 13. Make sure you change your needle regularly. If that don't work call a Janome dealer, they are real helpful.

Same thing Happened to me. I even went so far as to send back and got another. But, this didn't resolve the issue because the second one did the same thing. Only way I have gotten them to work is puncture really fast. Its a poor design. Good luck

I have a single needle machine and it does not work. There is not enough room for the hoop to move freely for it to embroider patterns.

Take the needle out and clean it with alcohol should clean it with alxohol after every use, sounds like you need to get different paint or thin it out. Are you usin airbrush paint? Regular face paint wont work in an airbrush machine.

I couldn't get mine to take air either, and discovered that the needle's open end was flush against the opposite inside. When I pulled the needle back a bit it took air much easier.

Either you are not threading your machine correctly , your bobbin is not threaded correctly or you may need to adjust the tension on the machine. Don't adjust it a lot at one time. Just a little at a time. You may need to play around with it. Have patience.

I had the same problem when I first started using mine. Try rethreading and reinserting your bobbin and start again. Somehow my machine has stopped doing this, but I never figured out why it did it in the first place since my thread and bobbin seemed to be just fine.

I ordered a replacement needle when i originally bought the item (ordered online). You should be able to go back online and order a replacement. (I think i got mine from sears).

Hi. It depends on the fabric you are using not the sewing machine. Maybe this can help you. http://www.singerco.com/sewing-resources/machine-needles http://www.sewitworks.com/needle-guide/fabric-needle-thread/

Google injection needles and buy extra's. They get dull if you use them a lot.
