Is a 40wt (Superior King Tut) thread too heavy to use to quilt a small quilt using Acufil (stipple design)? Label says: Use topstitch #90/14. Is that needle too large to use for an Acufil design? I've only used 50wt in the past, but this is a perfect color for the quilt.
Thanks so much, Carole - Colorado Springs

Re: Using a USB extension cord
I bought this cord: https://www.amazon.com/INSTEN-USB-2-0-Extension-Cable/dp/B006HDAAC2/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1547406580&sr=1-1&keywords=usb+extension+cable+25+ft&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011%2Cp_n_feature_keywords_five_browse-bin%3A7800930011 and the cord from my Janome 12000 won't fit into the connector. What have I done wrong?
-- Thank you, Meryl

I'm new at the photo add so not sure if it went. At first two photos were so large I deleted them, then tried adding them as an attachment. It disappeared, so will wait until tomorrow to see if they're approved. The bag is a pattern called Beatle Bag. I removed the bulky closure and replaced it with a simple strap. Maybe someone can advise on the photo adds. Thnx.

The manual lists it as 859835101. The zipper foot is 859838001. See page 3.

Re: Happy Sewer
Good news, I have not used those feet yet, so just learning quilting and binding. Do you have a picture of the bag? If not I will just try it out. Have had my machine for four years and still haven"t used it like I should have. Not enough hours in the day, that didn't come with the machine, have to talk to Janome. Thanks Theresa

It had to go over thick vinyl straps and didn't even flinch. One of the reasons I purchased the 15000 was the dual feed. It is so smooth and easy to install. The extra light also comes in handy, especially when having to remove tiny stitches.

I also just used this foot after having the machine three years. Wow .... I love it. This machine has so many lovely features. Short of having stitch regulator and positioning camera ...... what could Janome add. [AccuSetter works but. ... ] Hugs Heather

Re: Question

I think that you will be lucky to be allowed $3000 for your 12000. I traded my 12000 even up for an Elna 860 which was $2,885 - less than $3000 and this was 3 years ago. The 12000 is already 7-8 years old in technology. Why not wait until fall and see if a new machine is launched, then you would be right up to date in technology.
You’d be better to pay cash and sell your 12000 privately on eBay or some other internet selling site. Cheryl - Saskatoon

Re: Sale items
Jim Stutsman
No worries - it's my error, as I did not realize that there would be others who want to sell items. My goal is to achieve a path for selling items, while not cluttering up the list for those who are only interested in content. I think the database will do the job. Please abandon any guilt you may have!

Jim: I'm so sorry this has turned into becoming a path to Craig's List.
When I originally requested if I could post in the group I thought I would be the one person trying to sell off excessive items from things I purchased when I had the 12000. I'll be removing my original post. You and Diane do so much for the group as moderator and answering questions. Thank you Julia

Re: items for sale
Jim Stutsman
I have been a member of this group for quite a while. First Janome I bought was the 9000 and then upgraded to every new machine. Stopped at the 12000 as my mother passed away and left me $’s to purchase it. I’m getting old and don’t want another embroidery machine—very happy with the 12000, A year ago I bought an iPad (iOS 11) and purchased Acu Design, Edit and Monitor; and the FootBook. But this was my first Apple product—it’s too much of a learning curve for me. Jim told me I could sell it here and could keep these programs on it. My info has been deleted and am ready to sell the iPad. I‘m asking $250 which includes the programs and the cover I bought. (I am open to offers.) Happy Sewing, Jan Driscoll Concord, CA

Sale items
Jim Stutsman
It seems we are on a path to become Craig’s List for sewing equipment. I’ve got one more “For Sale” post to approve, but I am requesting that from here on out that all items for sale be entered in the database. To do that:
1. Log into the group website: https://groups.io/g/onlinesewing-janome/topics 2. Click “Databases” in the left column. 3. Click the “It’s for Sale” database. 4. Click the “Add Row” button and enter your information in the form. 5. When your item is sold repeat steps 1-3 and delete your row. Thanks so much!

Hi, and welcome. I thought the upgrade to v.3 QuiltMaker was worth it. It cost less than $150, and came with feet and the HP needle plate. I have paid more for fewer presser feet, to be honest, and there was a software upgrade for it, too. To get the upgrade, (and the threader replaced...which was warranty), I just made an appointment with the dealer from whom I purchased my 15000, took the machine to them, and in less than an hour, they called me to say it was ready to be picked up. They did all the 'paperwork' for Janome after the upgrade, and before I could drive back to the dealer, Janome had emailed me the link to update Horizon Link Suite on my PC, which I did, once I got back home.

Thank you so much for your comments. I am sure I will learn a lot from your all. I have a Janome 15000 and it is a wonderful machine. Thinking of getting the upgrade. (Not sure what to do) It is very expensive. Has anyone done the upgrade and if so do you think it is worth getting. Look forward to your comments.
