Mac - Janome Programs
zena.mayberry@...
Hi Jim I am finally considering changing to a Mac. Is the Switch to Mac pdf I found on the web dated 2011 still appropriate to follow or is there a newer way of using Windows programs on a Mac Thanks for your never ending support Zena Mayberry Thanks for the reminder to revisit the document. It's still mostly up to date, though I have made a few minor revisions. The methods discussed are still the best way to run Windows on a Mac.

Bobbin Loop
Meryl Margolies
This had happened a couple of times now, and I would love to be able to fix it. If a design has (for lack of a better description) long satin stitches, my bobbin thread pulls up a loop on the right side of the stitch. As you can imagine, this is not acceptable and unattractive to the design. As I am not a digitizer, I can't imagine why someone would use a stitch that long as I would think it would catch on things. I also don't know how to tell in advance if this is going to occur. I've changed the fill and re-stitched the area, but that can get bulky. Is it my bobbin tension? It seems okay the rest of the time. What can or should I do? Feeling a bit loopy, Jim says: Because of how Janome's machines are made, the longest possible stitch is 127 "points", which works out to 1.27cm or about half an inch. If a stitch needs to be longer than that one or more jump stitches will be inserted. That's where the trouble comes, because when the machine performs a jump it opens the tension disks to allow the thread to flow freely. The lack of tension at the end of this long stitch is what causes the loop. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do to prevent this, because that's how the machine works. Good digitizing would avoid long satin stitches, because as you point out, they are easily torn.

Re: Memory Craft 500 E
Richard and Debra
I love the 500e and the way the hoops now attach! The
hoops are more stable and easier to attach. I’m in the process now of
using the largest hoop to put words and numbers on the back of t-shirts for
softball, and the largest hoop is as easy to use as the small one!!
To someone who said they’d like to see this type of hoop
attachment on a combo machine – I believe it would have to be a removable arm in
order to make that happen. My “combo” is the 8900 along with the 500e –
perfect for me!

Re: Is there a 17000 on the horizon?
Kenny McCormick
I joined this group just to ask the same question about a successor to the 15000. We're debating between the Elna 920/Janome 14000 and the 15000. Does anyone familiar with the 14000 know if there's any difference between it and the 15000 other than the size of the screen and the number of stitches and embroidery patterns? But we're not in any urgent hurry and if a new TOL were to drop by the end of the year we would gladly wait. Thanks in advance.

Re: Stitch Composer
Josephine Symons <josymons@...>
Thank you for your 'composition' Jim! I have been doing this but to no avail. It's very strange (and frustrating!) because it worked with a previous stitch. Jo Would anyone know whether there is a version 1.2 for the Stitch Composer? I have Horizon Link 1.2 for my brand new 15,000 V2 machine but the Stitch Composer component is only version 1.0. Should it be 1.2 as I'm having an issue getting the machine to find my created stitch on the USB stick? Many thanks for any info. Jo

I agree I was shocked when I saw the machine with the arm on the
side. I think they have always been on the back.

Re: Is there a 17000 on the horizon?
Vikki Youngmeyer
Actually, I’d like to see the hoop fastening mechanism that is on the 500e be incorporated into any upcoming combo models. It’s a lot more stable than the current method used on all other Janome machines.

I’m hoping that there isn’t a new machine for at least another year. I’ve got to much other stuff to learn - i.e.: My Artistic SimpleCut Software, Digitizer MBX v5, Floriani Total Control U, and so much more on my 15000. That’s a lot of information to get my brain around so another new machine isn’t needed in my world, but I know that there will be one sooner or later.

Re: Nesting problems
Anne Parker
There are a couple of more detailed explanations of thread weight on the YLI site here - http://www.ylicorp.com/KnowledgeCenter.aspx Marine thread (and hence industrial) numbering systems use a thread reference system opposite to domestic thread - the higher the number the thicker the thread - so it can be a real can of worms. As long as you are comparing numbers in the same numbering system, and know whether a smaller or higher number is the thinest thread you can use any numbering system will work - though the 'universal' system is the Tex or deciTex, where the smaller the number the thinner the thread.

Re: Free Motion Couchimg Foot
Sandra King
Update: when my dealer quoted me the price, I said I was not going to pay that much for the foot as I knew I could get it cheaper elsewhere. Yesterday, they called and left a message that the foot was actually $39.99 and they had made a mistake quoting the price the day before. They lost a sale because I had already ordered it from somewhere else.

Re: Is there a 17000 on the horizon?
Ann
Lucy, I don't know for sure either, but they are discontinuing the 12000 and introducing the 14000 which I just purchased and is almost a duplicate of the 15000, so I think they are trying to cut down on their inventory of these machines to make room for a newer model. I can't get over what a grand machine these 9mm machines are. I love the way it holds onto the thread between seams - no more nests at the beginning of the machine - and that is just a tiny feature in comparison to all the features it has. I have the 11000 also, and this new 14000 is head and shoulders above the 11000! Ann C

Composing himself, Jim says: Stitch Composer is version 1.00, even though the 1.2 update was installed. You'll find the stitch design in the OrdF folder, which is itself inside the ORD folder.

Re: Free Motion Couching Foot
FIRED-UP@...
There is some confusion here, regarding the Couching foot.
There are 2 different ones. The FREE MOTION couching foot set is meant to be used by dropping the feed dogs, and you move the fabric around while free motion stitching the yarns down. It is used in the regular sewing mode with the feed dogs dropped. The new one is the EMBROIDERY COUCHING foot set which is to be used in embroidery mode with the SQ14 Hoop. For that one, you then use the Embroidery Couching Designs that are included in the downloads for the MC15000 update. The designs are there with the update information, but you have to download them separately and save to a flash drive or to your embroidery design folder and then load to your machine. The embroidery design will attach the yarns within your SQ14 Hoop. That may be why the prices quoted are different. Cindy
