This is the very versatile 2 in 1 sewing machine and serger /overlocker combo - Janome Combi. This machine has a common issue where it's starting to seize up.
This video covers the Janome Combi and the Combi 10.
In this video I track down the issue and go through some troubleshooting procedures.
This video also shows how to detach the serger / overlocker section from the main machine body.
I cover general service of the machine, along with looking at the drive belts, clutches and more.
This is part one of a two part series.
Find part 2 here - • Janome Combi - 2 in 1 ...
Part two is coming soon and it shows how to mate the serger and the sewing machines.
