Re: Lubricating an older machine...
The white grease is probably lithium grease, which does not harden with time. Tri-Flo grease will be fine there, as well as the non-lithium gears. Try to remove as much of the old grease as you can

Re: Question about 550E
Pixey,
Quilt blocks are certainly easier, BUT this quilt hoop was created so that whole quilts could be quilted quickly and easily. I’m here to tell you that the “easy” was a challenge for me.

Re: Larger hoop for 15000?
You're quite right. I think the M7/550E release is Janome testing the water to see if they can sell two machines instead of one. While they could add support for AcuSpark to the 15000 with an update,

Re: Larger hoop for 15000?
I can't see how there could be any upgrade for larger hoops for the 15000 machine, without making a new embroidery unit.
The width of the hoop size is already maximized for the Harp of the machine,
