Unusual request
I downloaded free design last night at Amazing Designs called
Sashiko Crane as I was thinking about buying the collection it came
from. I transferred the .jef version to a memory stick through
Horizon. The printout & Horizon both showed 8 color changes.
The design was gorgeous until I loaded # 8 (gold). The machine
started stitching the same design as color 1 except from the middle
up. When I checked the listed color changes on the machine
it showed only 7 color changes. I re-downloaded again today &
repeated without actually embroidering & the machine still
showed only 7 colors.
I was wondering if there is someone who could download the same design & see if your machine only shows 7 colors. I told Amazing Designs but they said they showed no problems. -- Vicki Jo

Traditionally Janome has used a device called a "Clothsetter" to align designs. It's a mechanical device designed to ensure accurate placement of the fabric in the hoop. There currently is no Clothsetter for the 12000, much to everyone's consternation, but we have been told one is coming. Even without it, placement is not that difficult because the Janome software allows printing of templates for designs and we can use those to aid in getting the fabric in the hoop. It's not necessary to get it dead on, only straight. Then one can use the screen of the machine to adjust the hoop position for accurate placement.

Re: Using the Embroidery Unit on the 12000
Jim_Stutsman <jim@...>
Most of the complexity in embroidery is external to the machine, i.e. learning how to stabilize fabrics, what needles and thread to use, and how to get things in the hoop properly. Have no fear - you can ask questions here and Diane and I will have something ready within the next couple of months. She's working on it every day, and I will be as well once we finish the road trip.

I also had the 7700 and upgraded. I found it quite daunting to begin with but I am slowly relaxing! I found the computer part the hardest to get used to but getting there with practice. I have managed to download an appliqué font and have successfully made a baby name wall hanging :)

Using the Embroidery Unit on the 12000
ANNE <amd15@...>
Hi Everyone,
I own the 7700 and so I am familiar with the accufeed feet etc but have never in my life had any contact or used an embroidery machine and after reading some of your messages it seems quite daunting! are there any ladies (or men) out there who have bought the 12000 as absolute beginners using the embroidery unit and what do you think? is it very complicated to use? I am gathering the valuable info on here so I can decide whether to buy the 12000 or not but have to remember that there is no-one here in Saudi Arabia at all that I can get advice from other than this great group which will probably be excellent for me... Thanks for any advice you can give now. Best Wishes, Annie Dunn Jubail, Saudi Arabia

Re: Sock embroidery
Thanks Jim. I look forward to hearing. I just did a boo-boo on something else that I "thought" would take the square hoop but... tooo small & luckily I got machine turned off before damage was done. Still trying to get used to Janome language <VBG>.

Re: Sock embroidery
Jim_Stutsman <jim@...>
It looks like it could work. Diane was able to get a sock in the free arm hoop in a position where it could be embroidered. When we get a chance we'll try it.

We have those feet from Diane's 7700. She's put them on the 12000 and they work just fine.

Re: Quilting feet for 11000

I just realized you said quilting feet not free motion feet. I was talking about the set of 3 free motion feet and a holder for them. If that is what you are talking about, they aren't snap-on feet they come witheir own spring motion ankle, and I was told they won't work with the new machine.

Re: Sock embroidery

FYI Though it’s not embroidery, I use fabric paint to do things like marking the back of a garment with an “X” or letters. It would work for socks, it’s easy, quick, and doesn’t wash off.

Sock embroidery
Is it possible to use the Free Arm to embroider socks? My mother is in a nursing home & it is hard to mark socks with felt tips. Any ideas appreciated. Also I can't find anything that looks like a "blocking Plate". Where would it have been?

Re: Quilting feet for 11000
Jim_Stutsman <jim@...>
It depends on which feet you have. If they attach by screwing on, then they should work. Just be careful not to go wider than 7mm when using them. If they are snap-on, then you will need to get an 11000 foot holder to snap them onto.

Re: Quilting feet for 11000

Do you mean the set that comes with 3 feet? I was told they didn't work so traded them in when I bought my 12000. But the 12000 comes with 4 different quilting/darning feet so I don't think you need them anyway.

Quilting feet for 11000
kkrissyb <krissy.b@...>
I bought the extra quilting feet for the 11000, was wondering if I can use them on the 12000. They were expensive so hoping I can. I put the card they came on in a safe place and am still looking for it :(
