However you cannot register yet because the 12000 is not in the list of machines on that page. This will not affect whether your machine is covered, so don't lose sleep over it!

Jim,
I believe I missed the posting with this information. Where can I get the details?

Where do I go and how do I register my new JANOME 12000?

Just keep in mind the larger the stick the harder your machine has to work
to read it which may effect your on board memory in the future.

Sticking to a 2 gb might be a safer way to go.

Does anyone know what the maximum size memory stick you can use for the 12000 is? I was told once that the maximum size for the 11000 was 4mb which is pretty small; I never verified if this was actually true or not.

The release notes are on the update page:
http://www.janome.co.jp/e/e_downloads/index.html
"correction of minor issues from version 1.0" is all the notes you get. This is typical Janome. It's been our experience that the big issue was not being able to reliably connect a computer to the machine.

Hi all,
So glad I found this group. I have had my 12000 since 11/21 and am in heaven. I already found the answer to my first question, which had to do with the 7mm Q3 stitch.
I too wondered if they went the wrong way on the scant quarter inch. Glad I am not alone in that thinking. Has anyone seen release notes for the version 1.01 upgrade? Would like to know what was fixed besides the addition of the languages before I upgrade. Looking forward to getting to know you all!

Jim,
So does this mean 1/3 of top thread on either side of design with 1/3 of bobbin thread showing in the center on the back side of design? If so, my embroidery now that my dealer adjusted the tensions is great!
 
Thanks,

Hi,

What my dealer told me was to NEVER use a large USB. The processors in our sewing machines don't like them. Also remember that the larger they are the longer it will take to load designs into the machine. Why on earth would you want to put more than a few designs to stitch out on a USB anyway. You can only do on design at a time. If you must have a very large memory USB, use it to store the designs as a backup for your computer.

After saying all that, I helped a lady with a MC10000, so out of date that I didn't even recognize what the files were on her PC Card. She had the whole Stitchitize 3000 designs on that one card or perhaps 2. I was horrified that she had been stitching away for years. I had her machine upgraded to the version 3 so that I could help her as she does not have a computer. Go figure BUT her card was a 256mb as that machine doesn't use USB's.

Still, my advise is to stay small, it's easier on the processor in your expensive embroidery machine. My dealer also sells Pfaff, Bernina and Babylock and she says that they all prefer the smaller memory devices.

changed.

 

To help me remember which bobbin case is which, I use a sharpie marker and write in the bottom of each bobbin case. EMB in the case with the yellow dot and REG in the other one. That way I don't have to refer to the manual or depend on my memory. After a while the marks need refreshing, but not too often.
