I got the upgrade about a week ago and I’m still waiting for the update file for HL Suite. How long did it take before yours was mailed? My needle threader is working so far. I haven’t tried embroider

I finished my purse, and I’m hoping it will be the perfect one. It was hard to sew the seams, and it was too bulky to get under the 15000 needle to do the top zipper. Luckily, I still have my other Ja

Sometimes if I’m futzing about with the fabric a lot I will knock the lever out of the top. If you reach behind occasionally and make sure that lever is pushed in it really helps. Cas

I’ve had that problem and I now hold the thread in my left fingers to hold it at the right height until the bobbin is well started. Cas

This has all the info about the bobbin holders, including a project to get that hand sewn quilting stitch we discussed recently. http://janome.com/globalassets/bobbinholderbasics.pdf

I have a friend who switched to Babylock Destiny II and she kept a list of pros and cons and she said it was about even. Two things she really disliked about the Destiny is the door doesn’t open to vi

Ceil, I think your instructions are easy to understand. I haven’t worked with the files but just want to thank you for sharing the steps. I’ve saved them for when I start to use AcuEdit. Cas

There is a whole article on the link below and I found a lot of it very interesting. Num. 4 makes me wonder if using a bobbin winder like the SideWinder might be a bad idea, since our machines probabl

I love all the clear pics and instructions, and especially that she uses a Janome! Cas https://sew4home.com/projects/storage-solutions/relaxed-shoulder-brief-handles-tech-accents Estelle

I forgot to mention I thought the FrouFrou purse was so cute on sewsweetness site. I saved the pattern but I think it’s too big https://sewsweetness.com/2012/01/frou-frou-bag.html

Thanks Ceil. I think the Park West would be too big for me too. I use a cross body backpack type purse now, and often just a little pouch purse that holds my phone and a cloth “receipt keeper” that ha

I really like that one, thanks Sandy K. I bet that would look cute with cork as the base. Here’s the pattern: https://www.craftsy.com/sewing/patterns/margo-handbag/289207 Cas

Thanks for the ideas Ceil. I have sewn a bag I invented myself. I thought of everything, made all the pockets the right size and everything. Yes, I even made an outer pocket for my tablet. I put littl

Does anyone have a bag/purse pattern you’ve sewn and absolutely love? I’m looking for one with lots of pockets and a closed top so all my stuff doesn’t fall out. I might make all or part of it with co

My 15000 loves all thread, and I use Gutterman Poly all the time.

Very cool video. I wonder how that hook manages to grap the tiny thread with the shuttle hook. http://craftgossip.com/so-this-is-how-a-sewing-machine-works/

Hello, today I made a small quilt in the GR hoop. When I got done with the top embroidered design I took the stabilizer off the back but left the fabric hooped. I then glue basted and pinned batting t

Thanks so much for methodically going through and noting all the changes and sharing them with us! I’m saving all your notes to put in the front of the manual. It will be very helpful!! You’ve shared

Ok thanks Cheryl. J Like I said, I’m pleased that Janome offers a machine upgrade (hopefully using the right word here, I think I said update and upgrade in the wrong way before) for only $150 rather

Please let us know what you discover. I have several 7mm feet I use with a mm ankle on my machine. Cas
