Are you using Janome bobbins. I’ve found using prewound bobbins that aren’t Janome but generic said to be Janome type can cause the bobbin to leap about and push the cover off, especially when

Virginia-- (and Janet)--Did you mean to say that prewound bobbins that are NOT Janome brand.....can cause the problems that Janet is having? I feel Janet's pain. I have had a similar problem, but

It took me a couple of years to diagnose this problem, which was happening well before the 15000, on the 9000 and subsequently the 11000. There are two stages to the problem. It starts with the bird

I wonder is it something that you're doing that you may not be aware of. I say this because I had a 6 needle embroidery machine and the thread continued to break. I took it to the dealer had it

Are you using the yellow dot bobbin case? Prewound bobbins that are Janome brand and not running your machine faster than 600 stitches per minute. All of these can cause the problems you are

I am SO frustrated! I bought a brand new Janome 15000 three years ago. I loved it the first 13 months. Since then, I've had continuous problems. It has had to be shipped to New Jersey factory twice,

So I tend to use my HD magnets to hold the project in place along the metal strips embedded in the edge of the hoop or tape metal strips on using gaffer’s tape. When I tried the approach of using

Wendy: Thank you for telling me about the magnets. I am wondering if they will stay in place on top of the hoops for the 500E? The ones that come with the machine clamp onto the hoop, but obviously,

Someone in my area is trying to sell this Model 8100. Lots of extras including cloth setter. They state that the machine won't turn on, and they had it serviced about 4 years ago for the same

I can only use a USB with 2 GB because the embroidery machines are not designed to handle more than that. Could be you are overloading your machine.

Happy New Year, to everyone. Hope that your Christmas and all holiday events were fun to celebrate. We were lucky to have had all our family over for the Sunday before Christmas, as one daughter and

Just an add on to Jim’s don’t put a folder in the my design folder, it can only be a file. However folder can sit next to the my design folder.

You've almost got it. As you observed, designs must go into the EmbF5 folder. However they must then go into a folder which is itself inside the EmbF5 folder. The machine creates MyDesign for that

Good morning, I have misplaced my usb for my MC350E, which I recently got and posted here about 2 months ago. Had many great responses. One of the questions was formatting and downloading .jef files

I just got thru stitching a dog head and names on three grooming table covers which are made of toweling and are elasticized to fit snugly over grooming tables! As for stabilizer, I cut a large
