I'm definitely up for Periscope! - as I don't have an iPad (though the Apple TV will mean I will be able to watch the My 15000 app). I like the idea of it being live when we could ask questions if we

Thanks for the extra info. I had noticed Periscope was on Apple TV4 so that's good - I don't give my mobile number to anyone except friends and family so maybe I'll just get a free pay as you go sim f

Maybe you could digitize one yourself? If you don't digitize I'm sure there are many on this list that could do it. I'm happy to have a go ​ - though only a beginning digitizer! Maybe we should have a

Patti I had the same problem though only occasionally - and it had never happened on any other machine I have ever sewn on over the last 50 years. I hadn't even realized there was a clip on the take u

Like you Cas I'm sorry to see the demise of Periscope before it got going. I don't have an iPad and now with the My 15000 app being available via Apple TV, I have no intention of getting one. I like m

I just tested out my thoughts regarding using the quarter inch foot for piecing and using Quilt Stitch 2 Several people mentioned getting annoyed by the message that comes up when your using the Patch

Patti That's how my take up lever looks now and it works great. I know what you mean re a compensating foot. I've tried just using a zipper foot but that doesn't seem satisfactory. I've been looking a

Thanks for the info Heather and Jim. Well I don't have an iPad and I haven't really done much couching using the sewing functions yet so I'm happy to wait. I did know there was an FMQ couching foot co

Thanks Jim I guess the rubber makes them less brittle then. I've only ever had one plastic bobbin break on me so far - and that was one of my old Elna ones while I was winding it - so fingers crossed

I'm wondering if anyone has ever embroidery on card and if so have they any hints and tips to share. I would like to make my daughter-in-law a birthday card and I've not tried it before. I've read a b
