Janome Special Edition Model 372

We are not laughing, Tania. We're just real pleased when someone acquires a SM and knows that it should be oiled (and cleaned, please). I don't speak Janome but there are some here who do. They'll help I'm sure. Tell her NOT to oil it until you hear from them, some SMs don't want oil. Polly

"Tania" Please would anyone have the manual? my daughter just had this machine given to her, and would like to no how to thread the machine, also where to oil.

Two links for you:

Janome's official website - FAQs

of Janome users manuals I don't see the model number you mention on either site -- perhaps you've already looked at these sites :-) or perhaps there is some alternative model designation?? Hmmmmm . . .

I wouldn't have thought to look on line except that my SO found the installation guide for a Bose sound system the other day.

I'm not gonna laugh, Taria. No way. I just most sincerely hope she has better luck than you have had. Sorry, but I don't know anything about that model- wish I could help out.

Looks like maybe you can get it here --under the Other category --

it appears that it is a New Home / Janome L-372

A lady gave this machine to my daughter, it looks in fine shape, the case is rather yellow. I started up , and it works like a charm, just not sure about where to oil, and daughter is worried that she wont be able to thread it now that I am not living close. So would just like diagram or numbers for her to thread. Thanks everyone for your replies. No luck with manual yet. Tania

I can't speak for all Janomes- obviously! LOL- but the ones I've had (all computerized models) only needed a tiny drop of oil under the bobbin case. I'd be hesitant to use any oil on it until you get a manual.

Is this the same machine?

I'm looking for a manual... we'll see if anything turns up.

Think I got it!

Let me know if it is the right one!

that = needs to be on the end of the link, so if it isnt underlined add it to the addy manually, then hit enter. silly computers.

have a look on youtube, Tania. betcha theres a video on how to thread the machine there, possibly even one to oil it and a few others to get her going. hth, j.

my sister just had her janome serviced and the man told her it was made so you can't oil it by yourself. it has to be done by a serviceman. don't know her model tho. karen(kz)

I mustn't oil my Janome 6500. . In message , Karen Z writes
