I just tried the regular HP foot using the fabric guide that I have never used before. It worked really nice and I can see how the HP2 would really be nice! I think I will see about getting one.

Re: Thread problem? Photos
Ann Jones
I use quality poly threads and, other than Glide, have not experienced shredding as mentioned. The Glide thread settled part through the reel. I do use a cotton or prewound matching colour (not Glide) in the bobbin. Changing needle size is a good tip. Is there a tension issue? Also try slower sewing speed and see if that helps. Ann

Re: WiFi and setting quilt dimensions
I did get one help request from someone who could not get WiFi to work at all, even with Janome's help. It turned out that she was using the picture in the 15000 manual to set up her machine. Specifically she used the picture on page 107 to set the IP of her machine to 192.168.0.1. That's probably the worst example Janome could have picked, because that IP is the address of a ROUTER, not a device. Doing that would cause all other devices on your network that tried to get an IP using DHCP to fail, because they would be trying to get the machine to act as a router. If the IP of your machine shows .1 at the end that's the problem. Just change it to use DHCP and it should work without shutting down everything else.

Yes the 12000 came with one and the 15000 has its own. Both are a different size. Sent from my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7.

I just ordered the 5.5 upgrade to version 5 from my dealer for $224.70 including tax. My dealer is in Indiana. Janome said they will not be supporting the upgrade. Thanks to everyone who has talked about this. Carol in Indy

Carole did you install the HL for the quilt maker or upgrade your existing HL. I had to contact Janome for a code to upgrade to the quilt maker HL Virginia. Sent from my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7.

I often have problems with WiFi on the 15000, rarely able to connect with the iPad. Is your computer near your machine, I wonder sometimes if you’re too close it has problems. I also think the 15000 is very greedy with the WiFi channel. If I turn the WiFi on, on the machine other devices in the house can’t connect to the WiFi, I have to turn the WiFi off on the machine so that husbands Mac can get out onto the net or my iPad etc. Normally our phones iPads and computers are all on the net, but 8nce the machines on it, the rest struggle to.

Re: WiFi and setting quilt dimensions

I had the same problem when I moved my sewing room downstairs. The WiFi signal worked perfectly when it was about 800 ft from the router, but once the 15000 was moved, I got the same message you’re getting. I called my cable/Wi_Fi company and had them upgrade the box. It now works perfectly. Either that or try moving them closer together.
