Thanks for the reply Jim Appreciate the 'no web access' bit of the Apple 4 (hadn't thought of it working that way) - maybe that will come one day. Just wondering if the Roku would give me it, but prob

I don't know the actual answer - if there is one. I always thought they were just different colours so you could identify what type/weight of thread you had on them. So you could use pink for say ordi

I can empathise. I've done this twice now with the 15000 when trying to get really close to some piping, as I was having to hold the piping back in place. Luckily for me I just went down the side of m

I'm just doing another of my thought experiements - trying to figure out how a sensor would have to work. It would need to tell the diffrence between a finger or a metal part of an attachment moving u

Cat I was just thinking the same thing regarding it being a heat sensor. Just curious. The thought of having a sensor in my car that would take over if I got too close scares me - what if I rely on it

Yes Tina - it does say that - and it also says similar on the packagaging. But there are lots of us using the QB-S foot on the 12000 and 15000 with no problems. In fact I don't know of anyone using it

Jim - I agree with you - Janome say it is incompatible - but it isnt't. In the end it comes down to the consumer and what they think and what they accept as their own liabiility. I would recommend the

Jim Am I understanding correctly what you are saying? If I have installed it on 3 computers - then have an issue with one computer and manage to uninstall before the system dies, the uninstall updates

I totally agree with Jim. Adjusting the bobbin tension is really a last resort, especially as we get 2 bobbin cases at different tensions with the machine. If having tension issues the very first thin

Congratulations on your 'new' machine. I use a separate thread stand for large cones of thread and just feed from that to the normal thread path. You can just put your large cone in a screw top jar wi

Glad you got it sorted Deb. Maybe though you could have tried the overall top tension adjustment setting ? You can of course use a favourite stitch setting to set the tension default for each stitch y

Hi Sherryl It occurs to me that you are asking the same questions any sewer has asked over many years (50 years to my knowledge!). The basic thing to me is that the wider the hole you have for the nee

Audrey I'm just catching up on emails so appologies if this has been suggested. Would it be possible for you to arrange to sit with both the engineer and the dealer for an hour in their shop and sew w

Sheryl I'm not sure your understanding the use of the thread bunny correctly. You put the thread bunny in and sew on it but don't stitch off the end of it. Place your fabric right up to the thread bun

Cindy There are many people on this list that have done the same as you - including me! I sat there puzzling for well over an hour before I eventually realized I had the straight stitch plate on. Take

Mags I tend to agree with you regarding the definition of Batik. I think of it as as way of printing on fabric (I remember the tie dye T-shirts!), but that fabric is now usually a closely woven one -

Hi Audrey I think Jim is talking about the take-up lever rather than the snap you hear at what I belive is called the pre-tension leaf. Have you ever taken the cover off that area to clean? If you do

Klasse needles are commonly available in UK and I've not had any issue with them. In UK they are more expensive than Organ, but much more easily available if you go to a local craft shop. For Organ I
