1. Thread of The Janome Magnolia 7330 Is Always Breaking
One of the most common causes of thread breaking on a sewing machine is the thread tension (whereby it will be too tight) such that when being pulled through the sewing machine it rips into two. This can be a big problem especially if it keeps happening which would mean you have to rethread you sewing machine (a very time-consuming endeavor.) It can also be because of a sharp needle or debris (capable of cutting thread) in the Janome Magnolia 7330.
What You Can Do
- Make sure that you’re using the correct thread for your project and if you’re not sure which thread to use, consult your Janome Magnolia 7330’s user manual or the Janome website.
- Another common cause of thread breaking issues is incorrect threading. Make sure that the thread is properly seated in the tension discs and that it’s threaded through all the necessary guides and hooks.
- You can also try replacing the needle to see if anything will change.
- If you’ve tried the above steps and are still experiencing the thread breaking problem then try adjusting the tension manually. But you may need the help of a certified Janome technician to help with this step.
2. Some of Your Stitches Will Not Form Correctly
When using the Janome Magnolia 7330 and your stitches that aren’t forming properly it can using be caused by a wrong needle size or thread size. It can also be caused by the wrong selection in stitch width and length. This results in uneven or skipped stitches, or stitches that are too loose or too tight.

3. Bobbin Thread May Not Feed Correctly
For the Janome Magnolia 7330 sewing machine to create quality stitches there needs to be good timing between the needle and the bobbin driver. In a matter of milliseconds thread from the needle is caught and hooked by the thread from the bobbin and this is what makes one stitch. In succession it creates stitches. But due to dirt, debris and other factors the timing of the bobbin driver may not be correct causing the bobbin thread to not feed through correctly.
What You Can Do
- Make sure that you’re using the correct type of bobbin for your machine. The Janome Magnolia 7330 is compatible with standard class 15 bobbins, but using the wrong type of bobbin can cause problems like this one.
- If you’re not sure which bobbin to use, consult your sewing machine’s user manual or the Janome website.
- If you have any other bobbin problems then you need to make sure that the thread is properly seated in the bobbin case and that it’s threaded through all the necessary guides and hooks.
- If you’re still having issues, try rethreading the bobbin entirely and see if that helps.

The Janome Magnolia 7330 is compatible with a range of needle types and sizes, and using the wrong needle can cause problems like this, however the needles that come with the Janome Magnolia 7330 are also very likely to have this issue.
