Re: How Much Top Thread Should Show on Underside of Embroidery?
Sherry Martin
I looked at the several little applique projects I did that I talked about in my earlier post (What I Love About Embroidery on this machine).

The ones I did without the yellow bobbin and without straight stitch plate had bobbin thread showing on both the top and the bottom. On the bottom all I could see was bobbin thread. The ones I did with yellow bobbin and straight stitch plate looked really really good on top and on the bottom mostly just top thread showed with just a little bobbin thread. Since this was applique these were heavy satin stitches only. As long as it is looking good on top and there is no puckering, I'm not really concerned how it is looking on the bottom.

A simple "rule of thumb" is 1/3 - 1/3 - 1/3 of top - bobbin - top thread. If you are not using Janome bobbin thread you should use the yellow dot case and you should get the 'thirds' result.

Re: How Much Top Thread Should Show on Underside of Embroid...

Oh thank you, Ginger. No, I'm sorry, guess I didn't explain well enough. No loops. Just showing some on the underside. Now I did have a tension problem though! The dealer had to take the top of the case off and turn a screw to adjust the upper tension plate. He also adjusted the screw on the bobbin case some. But mostly it was the upper tension, I guess.
I found another site this evening on machine embroidery that looked like it had some good advice. I just need to study up more on hooping and stablizers, etc. to make sure I get a good stitchout from my new 12000! :)

You are fine. Trust me, worry no more. I agree it did show on our 11,000 but not as much. It is probably because the yellow dot bobbin case we use makes it tighter, which is good.
It allows you to not have to use the same color thread on the top and bottom if we do not want to.
Take Care,

Re: How Much Top Thread Should Show on Underside of Embroid...
m1955seamstress
On the test piece we did at my dealer's store today with my machine there was about 1/3 or so of the backside showing the top thread and the rest was the bobbin thread. I was supposed to take my test piece home, but I must have left it at the store. So no pictures to post unless I get another test done soon.
Is this "normal"? The top looked good.
Thanks,
Marla

You used the right one.

Re: How Much Top Thread Should Show on Underside of Embroidery?
Judy <judyjanome@...>
I did a in the machine daisy design last night in the 5 by 5 hoop. It stitched out beautifully. There was absolutely no puckers at all and the machine is so quiet. However there was very little bobbin thread showing on the back just the top thread, and there was no bobbin thread on the top. I used Janome bobbin thread and the single hole needle plate. Bobbin case was the yellow dot case which I believe should have been the other one but I am having a hard time remembering that part. Judy

How Much Top Thread Should Show on Underside of Embroidery?
m1955seamstress
Hi,
I should already know the answer to this question, but I was having trouble with the tension on my 12000. I just got it back and think it is ok now. However, I was told by another 12000 owner that she never has any top thread showing on the underside of her embroidery. I was told by my dealer and also a lady who works for him on two separate occasions that there will be some of the top thread pulled to the underside. The top side looks good and no bobbin thread showing. If anyone can post pictures of what is normal, I'd appreciate it. I looked back at some of my embroidery I did with my 11000 and it too showed some top thread pulled to the underside. Perhaps I was doing something wrong even with my 11000, but looks good on the top side on those too! Thanks for any advice you can supply! Marla

Embroidery Feature I Love
Sherry Martin
For the 1st time today, I got to do some embroidery on my new machine. One of my favorite things to do is embroidery applique and I found a feature that I LOVE. When you press the icon that looks like a hoop in the embroidery mode, it will bring the hoop towards you so you can use a mini-iron to press down applique pieces, and also so you can trim pieces after they have been sewn with the anchor stitches. On my machine before I always had to take the whole hoop off of the machine press and/or trim and put the hoop back on sometimes many times even the applique had a lot of pieces.
Also when I 1st started I didn't put in the straight stitch plate or change the bobbin holder(since I was using Janome bobbin thread) and a lot of the white bobbin thread was showing on the top. I changed to the straight stitch plate, changed the bobbin holder, and lowered the speed from 1000 to 800 and absolutely no thread showed thru even on dark colors. Don't know if I really needed to lower the speed but it was going so fast I couldn't tell what the stitches looked like as it went along which was bothering me a little. One thing I don't like is how much fabric it seems like you have to waste when using the 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 hoop because of the oblong design. However since I was doing fairly small squares to become part of a larger quilted wall hanging, I hooped some sticky stabilizer and pressed the squares of fabric on it instead of hooping the fabric, and then I just kept pulling off my squares when I finished and put just enough sticky stabilizer to cover the hole from pulling the squares off. I could do a lot of squares without needing to hoop any more stabilizer.

Re: The Tree Stitchout -- which part caused the problem?
Sherry Martin
Isn't it funny what we do for our daughters. I had a quilt in my family room that I took to my daughter's house recently for an extra blanket in the car; and somehow it ended up staying at her house permanently. She insisted that it matched the colors in her sofa exactly.

Hi Donna,
The problem started at tree 4, that would be
part 5. Part one is the trunk.

love a puzzle! I have bought the design that seems to have some problems

parts, which part had the problem? Donna

Re: Question regarding stitch out -- Some suggestions
Maria Boyle
Thank you so much for that tip. It's making since to me now. I am currently embroidering a design that also has some heaving stitching. But this design requires 2 layers of cut away. It is stitching out beautifully. No problems with it at all. :)

The maximum size USB stick is “unlimited”. We were told this in a
Janome Canada meeting directly by the engineer who worked on this on the
12000.
