Default My Janome is Sewing Backwards

OK, please help me on this one. I used my Sew Mini yesterday and it worked just fine. Today, I can't get it to do a zig zag stitch on the right side of the paper.....the bobbin thread is popping up all wierd (I can take a pic if that would help), and I can't do a straight stitch either. I've loaded and reloaded my bobbin several times and threaded the machine and I can't figure it out. I thought I saw something about this but I couldn't find it. Thanks so much!

Gina K has several videos on the Janome Sew Mini on her stampTV site. Maybe you could check them out and find an answer to why you machine is being uncooperative.

Your title says it's sewing backwards? I wonder if your reverse button is jammed somehow. Yikes!! Hope you get it fixed soon!!

Is it sewing backwards or upside-down? If it's backwards, you might have the backstitch button switched on. If it's upside-down, you might not be threading your machine correctly. I can't tell you how long it took me to learn how to properly thread my sewing machine (not a Janome), because the manual is written so badly. Good luck with your machine.
