Carole -

The 90/14 needle will work great if you are quilting thru 2 layers of fabric and batting.  No worries about the quilt itself.  If the needle will slide back and forth on the thread- the thread is not to thick for the needle you have.  If it doesn't slide easily without getting stuck when you run the thread thru the eye and then hold one hand higher than the other and then the other hand higher (back and forth) then you need a larger eye on your needle.  Try a top-stitching 90/14 needle.  

I am not sure about the acufil question you ask - but if the thread is the right color and the needle isn't an issue- then go for it.

40wt should be fine. The topstitch 14 recommendation is probably related to the thickness of the quilt. The larger eye would also be less likely to fray the cotton thread.

You didn't do anything wrong. Plug the NEW cable into your computer. Plug the OLD cable into the end of the new one. That will leave the correct end for plugging into the machine.

After you create the album you will have the option to add photos to it.

You didn't say, so I'm assuming that it has been working up until now. Try installing this update: https://www.janome.co.jp/e/e_downloads/digitizer_mbx_v45h.html
If the update is already installed, then shut down Windows. Then turn it on and restart. If you are still having the problem it may be a dongle issue and you'll need to seek Janome Tech Support.

Try flossing out the tension. Fold a narrow strip of fabric in half. Lock the machine. Put the folded edge into the tension slot and floss it back and forth. Hopefully that will dislodge the debris that's in the tension causing inconsistent tension. If that fails you probably need to see your dealer.

I seem to be missing something. On the home page, if I click on photos, there's an opportunity to create a new album, but no "add photo".  If I click on Messages, just messages come up, no "add photo". I will keep trying.

my LucyLu, is behaving badly. First let me say. I’ve changed needles, thread masterpiece and aurfil. The thread continues to break, rethreaded numerous times.  Locked out to thread needle, auto thread didnot work and then suddenly worked.  My real problem the tension is inconsistent, at times upper and then other times .lower.
Cleaned bobbin area and upper thread channel.  I’m attempting straight sewing, ( red bobbin case) nothing fancy.  Any suggestions appreciated.

Jim,
I am getting a dialog box asking for access codes when trying to load MBX 4.5, picture in the photos section. Is this a driver issue? Can you please tell me how to fix this?
thanks

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,

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?

Photos are easiest to add if you make your post from the group website: https://groups.io/g/onlinesewing-janome
You just click the photo icon in the message window and upload them.

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.
