Hi, I brought home my new 12000 this week. My first question is, can I embroider while the wide lucite table is in place? My second question is, can I leave the embroidery unit attached to the machine

Hi, When I first used the threader (for a few times), it was ok. Now I have not been able to get the threader to thread the needle. I think it may be a tiny bit out of alignment. Is there an easy way

I now use the threader when the foot is down and that seems to have been the solution. I will save the instructions for aligning the threader just in case (and I hope I never get it our of alignment!)

Hi, When I get the low bobbin alert, I want to continue to sew (or embroider) to use up the bobbin thread. My 12000 will not continue sewing. (My 11000 warned me of low bobbin but would continue sewin

Hi Jim, Your information is a big help. Thanks so much, Linda

I have the MBX and I see that there is an update for it. I have not been able to find out what additions or improvements there are in the update. Thanks, Linda in Houston

Thanks Pixey for the info. I am not going to buy the 15000, just keeping the 12000 which I love. So, I'll see if there is anything else about the upgrade that I simple cannot live without. Linda in Ho

Hi Jim (and anyone else who may have information about this), I believe that you have a Mac with Parallels and Windows on it. I have a Mac Mini OS X (Ver. 10.6.5) with Parallels running Windows XP. Ho

Hi Jim, Thanks for the information on adding RAM to my Mac Mini. Is there any problem with continuing to run XP on my Mac? I use it only for MBX and Free Cell. I go on the net using Safari, not XP. Is

Thank you again, Jim. Now back to work on my embroidery. Linda

I have the 12000 and have been using the VD Walking Foot to stitch 1/4 inch seams. The fabric edge lines up with the outside of the foot. It works like a charm holding the cloth down and making perfec

Jim, You live in north Texas, right? I live in Houston. We can use a soup spoon to dig a cellar. In 12 inches it fills up with water from the water table as we are so close to the Gulf. The highest po

Hi Jim, I read all your helpful suggestions. An I enjoy your sense of humor. I meant to give you some information about our rain in Houston, as you would like me to send you some. We have been having
