Also check the height of the presser foot. Sometimes raising it a little helps.
I had a tiny burr in the center of the presser foot that I smoothed out with a round file. This stopped the snagging.

Re: Need help quilting over thick seams
Favy,
Thank you. I'm working on the Hatch now. As my memory isn't as good as it once was, in my 70's now, I will have to figure out about changing the design to be an object. I think I select it

Pixey,
Thanks. I was going at the slowest speed and fought with myself over using black or the medium gray (it does look light) that looks great on the top. But I will go with a darker gray to help

Re: Saving designs to work on both 350E and the 15000
Susan-
You are right- if you download a design from online and get it in jef format... it should be right for the 350e. The exception is if it's oriented in the correct direction for the hoop. If

Re: Magnets
Remember you will usually have seams (that are hopefully straight) to keep it line up. Then you forward to the first (or last) stitch to make sure it connects with the last design.

Hi Pixey,
Now that I can see how you do it, I can see that doing a placemat would be simple. But what about a larger quilt?

Yes, that's the dish soap I used. I have always had to go to great extents to get it off, so maybe it's whatever my hoops are made of. They're quite old. I will definitely keep dish soap in mind for

Re: Saving designs to work on both 350E and the 15000
This is where my designs are for the 350e on my 15000 so should work when I send them to a formatted 350e usb. Think I will have to contact Janome’s tech guy as going around in circles…
