Bravo Cheryl. I have taught myself everything I know about my machines as I live 7 hours away from a dealer. You tube has been a godsend as have the janome apps. I also joined online groups. I currently have the 15000 but started with Kenmore embroidery machine that was made by janome. Before long, I upgraded to the 10001 and used that for many years. I love my 15000 and learn something new every day about using it.
