Working with Different Fabrics

The Janome EASY JEANS is designed to work with light, medium, and heavy fabrics, including denim. For best results:

• Use appropriate needle size and type (e.g., denim needles for heavy fabrics).
• Adjust tension settings as needed for fabric thickness.
• Test stitches on a scrap piece of your fabric before sewing the main project.

Regular maintenance will help keep your sewing machine in optimal working condition:

• Cleaning: Regularly clean lint and dust from the bobbin case area and feed dogs using a small brush. Always unplug the machine before cleaning.
