I am doing an in the hoop design (dig. will remain not mentioned). When I get to a certain spot I get a terrible birds nest under the hoop so that I can bearly cut under to remove the hoop. I have to use the same emb thread in the needle as in the bobbin. What could be causing this and how could I correct it. Also if you are useing the same thread rayon #40 in the needle and rayon #40 in the bobbin for embroidery do you stwitch to the bobbin case with the yellow dot on it. Judy

In embroidery mode the machine checks the bobbin supply immediately after the START button is pressed, and at various times during embroidery. Once it has been determined to be too low, it won't sew again until you change the bobbin.

In ordinary sewing mode, the bobbin is also checked from time to time when you stop sewing. When the bobbin is found to be low, a message pops up indicating that it's low. However you can continue to sew. The message will continue to pop up, but you can ignore it. You don't even have to touch the X to get rid of the message - just pressing the foot control will do that. So if you want to use up old bobbins in piecing you should have no problem doing that.

Yes. And in the embroidery settings you can tell it how low you want the bobbin thread to get before it stops.

I went for a lesson on my 12000 today and did learn that unlike the 11000 you can't keep sewing after you get the low bobbin warning and you can't turn the warning off. My teacher is hoping this might be something they correct with some kind of software update later. On my 11000 when I was sewing patchwork I would just keep sewing until bobbin thread was gone; I even saved bobbins for embroidery to "use up" when doing patchwork, but I guess I can't do that anymore.

Hello,

I am using my embroidery for the first time. I have started a design. I prewound 5 bobbins before I started the project. My question is, while embroidering, will the machine stop if it is low on bobbin thread?

Thanks in advance

Can I butt in with a question,please? I just the 11000 last week.Is there
a way to turn off that low bobbin while doing normal sewing? It is driving
me crazy when it keeps beeping. My Singer XL6000
would let you know it was low,but would kieep sewing till it ran out. In
Embroidery it had a continous winder,

Our FootBook app (iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad) and DVD have a video for this binder that shows all the steps, including how to adjust the binder and miter the corners.
http://www.onlinesewing.com/footbook
Not quite as free as YouTube, but (in our humble opinion) more informative and contains information on 43 separate feet and attachments!

The hook on the needle threader has to be small enough to go through the eye of a needle. Unfortunately that makes it very fragile and easily bent. Factory calibration is done using a 14 needle, which has a bigger eye than a size 11, which is about the smallest you can count on the threader to work with. However if the threader is not lined up PERFECTLY it can get bent on sizes smaller than 14. I used to use a size 11 to set the threader just to make sure everything was right. I cannot remember us ever having a class in the store where there wasn't at least one needle threader to fix. This was true for every single threader design, from the old "push button" ones to the motorized to the pull-down styles. In truth the best threader is the external one provided with the MB-4 and some of the sergers. It can still get bent, but you just get a new one - problem solved. Adjusting the threader is a tedious repair, and I don't miss doing it!

Your embroidery speed issue is due to the machine being set in "Quiet" mode. That affects quite a number of things, including the top speed. Turn off Quiet mode and you'll be rocking again!

Hi,

My machine came with a size 14 needle. When I changed to the Janome blue size 12 needle I am having trouble with the hook for auto needle threading getting thru the needle. I have to push the needle over to the left a little and then push down the threader. Has anyone else had that problem? Or do I have the needle in wrong. I had a lot of trouble finding the spot to stick it up into when I changed the needle.

Also when I try to change the speed in the embroidery mode, it is set on 400 and it is grayed out and won't let me increase the speed. My dealer couldn't figure out what was wrong either over the phone so they are going to look at it when I go in for my lesson next week. Has anyone else had a problem like that?

Thanks

I got my 12000 last week and have been putting it thru its paces.

I was really excited about the dual feed foot, but when I use the 1/4" foot I have a hard time seeing under the foot to tell if my fabric is up against the guide. Has anyone else had that problem?

But I did use it to attach my first binding and just loved how it zipped right along.

Good Morning:

With the 11,000SE for a Shashiko stiich directions were to use stitch #63 (
hand look quilting stitch)and use monofilament thread on the top of the
machine and Janome Acrylic thread in the bobbin.

I think with our 12,000 it is the same procedure just look for the Hand
Look quilting stitch I am not sure what # it would be, but it should be in
the application feature.
