Long shot – anyone know what's wrong with my machine?

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but here goes.


My sewing machine keeps breaking (cue stamping of feet and tears of frustration).


This is a video of the problem: http://www.flickr.com/photos/39113615@N06/4981405555/


In a nutshell:

* it has happened numerous times, and was serviced less than 2 weeks ago (the Janome dealer couldn't find the problem, but the service seemed to temporarily fix the issue)

* it happens regardless of which foot or stitch I use

* I have tried changing the bobbin (I am using the official Janome bobbins)

* I have tried re-threading

* It happens regardless of the thread or fabric I use.


Waahhh!!! So frustrated! I really want to do the jump-rope sewalong, but cannot sew at the moment. And I have quite a few projects on the go I need to complete (eg, for a baby shower this weekend).


I'm going back to the dealer tomorrow, but was wondering if anyone else had experienced similar with their machine. (It looks like a bobbin issue but not sure what exactly?)


It is a Janome DC3050 and only a year old.


(Off to sulk)
