The iPad in the sewing room, sounds like a nice idea, but I don't think it will work unless we could put a virtual machine that would allow it to run Windows. There probably are other brands of

I stand corrected Jim. I don't use MBX. Vicki Jo Actually the 12000 also uses JPX, in addition to JEF and JEF+. The JPX format was created for the 12000, and includes the ability to embed a JPEG

I believe the jpx format is like a jpeg. You need to transfer the jef file over - not the jpx Mona Comox BC Canada

Phyllis, The 12000 uses JEF not JPX format. I think JPX was 11000 but can't say for sure since this is my 1st Janome embroidery machine. Hi Vicki, I have done the update but it does not list the JPX

There should never be enough slack in the thread for it to come out of that area, unless the metal thread guide is bent. Your dealer should be able to take care of that. I would also recommend that he

Hi Vicki, I have done the update but it does notlist the JPX format. In fact I created a sample, then openedEmbird and it could not see it. I agree with you that it was worth atry. Phyllis

Neither 8 or 9; When the thread comes from the spool, then down and on the way to the take up lever there is a mettle arrow shaped (thread guide plate) and up and around to the take up lever; then

I took it in to the dealer yesterday - he reset the timing. It wasn't I didn't want to take it in - just that I couldn't take it in at the time. So now I am up and running again and working on my

You have my vote. I love my Ipad and would be happy to use it for Horizon Link, to load designs that are emailed to me into the machine. I have used the Ipad to watch videos of the different feet in

Hi! Just wondered if anyone else has tackled a cover for the 12000. I've bought the fabric to cover my sewing machine and my serger but I have yet to be inspired. The cover for my 11000 was padded,

I am still in shock to have a 12000 quite a jump for me, from my 9000. So so many more features and possibilities of creation made easier. I will be going back through posts,a little at a time, so I

Just guessing here, but are we talking about item 8 or 9 on the bottom of page 13 in the manual? We have not seen a problem in this area, can't say about others. If the thread is out of position, it

I have had that same problem both with my 11,000 and my 12,000. WhenI took my machine into the dealer for the update in June they kept it and Ibelieve they called it bridgeing. Never did tell me why

The only problem I have with an Ipad is the size of the screen. I have a laptop in my sewing room; and I end up taking a lot of things to our other computer that has a 20" screen because I can see so

You can use the back and forward arrows to skip back and forth between colors. I do that sometimes when I am doing applique and I want to sew all the placement stitching first, and then all the tack
