hey Buster ...
I have a 385 Ken also. LOVE IT! But, I have a friend and now mine, that
when you try to sew material that is thick enough to jam the needle, it
will throw the bobbin timing off and then the needle won't pick up the
bobbin thread.
Something about the timing. Mine is still under warranty and Sears
informed me it will be THREE WEEKS before I get it back. We'll see what
happens.
My friend says Sears repair service is NOT reliable. His machine jammed
again.
He now takes it to the local Janome dealer and has it back in two days.
I must learn how to do this "re-adjust" myself as I want to sew thick
materials occasionally.
The Kenmore 385 is made by Janome.
