I'm getting a little confused about update vs upgrade! It seems like the terms are being used interchangeably, but I thought an upGRADE was something that must be purchased, as opposed to upDATES whic

What a great idea, thanks! Too bad I didn’t think of it. The best I could come up with was buying one at Build a Bear, butI would have had to bring it home to embroider, and then back to the store to

Does anyone know if the stuffed animals that are made to embroider are available as licensed products? I'd like to embroider on Elmo for my grandson, but have no idea if such a thing is available. A f

I had the Babylock Elissimo before my 12000, and now the 15000. It was more user friendly than Viking and Pfaff, but not as trouble free. I don't know if they changed the plate screw locations, but on

I’ve been using Isacord for years with no problems, so I’m guessing the sudden birds nests in the bobbin are from something else. If the bobbin case isn’t on exactly right, could that be it? I noticed

This article was in a link from my guild newsletter. I thought it was a good explanation of how fabric is made. I have started weeding through my stash, giving away my bargain fabric. I tell the recip

Funny what you learn as you go along! A friend started me with Connecting Threads, and I bought a bunch. A machine dealer had a quilting club, where I learned so much about thread and fabric. I got ri

Haven’t read all the previous posts on this topic, but I bought s new 15000 manual from my dealer for $35. Of course I found the original the day after I brought home the new one! I don’t know if ther

Loved all your responses! I can face any kind of repair, as long as I don't need a new machine. Since there really isn't a replacement on the market yet, I couldn't even buy a trade in 🤔 Does anyone h

Thank you for saving me from all sorts of imagined ills and remedies! The dealer is preparing for his semi annual sale, so I will take it in Wednesday morning. I don’t mind waiting, since I know it wi

I had my machine updated a week ago, and invited a friend to use it for her quilt, because her machine is very small. It worked like a charm, until she ran over a safety pin. Now it does nothing, the

I took my machine in to have the white disk in the bottom of the bobbin case replaced. I ended up withe the new needle threader and P foot, a new spring that goes across the bobbin case, another piece

Thanks for the links. There were some interesting explanations about email that I didn't know. The first video explained what I already knew about how to trim messages, but it was good to get a refres

When replying to a post, what is the best option to choose? When I choose reply to group, all that I see is a new message. If all the previous posts are not seen, how do we edit them out? Sometimes I

I'm sure this has been answered before, but is the needle threader a replacement for defective ones on the 15000, or a newer design? Does it work like the one on the S9? Except for making sure I leave

I'm very lucky my needle threader works well. I have to leave a little tail after passing the thread through the cutter or it doesn't catch, but only about an inch. If the tail is too long, the thread

Thanks! I also need to check on the 15000 manual, which he ordered for me in June. When I picked up the replacement S9 in July, it wasn't in yet. I've een using the online version, but for me, book fo

This question is about the 15000, but could apply to any machine. The white part underneath the removable bobbin case appears to have a couple of deep scratches. I'm not having any problems, but was w

Thanks for the suggestions. The design has a a black outline, so maybe I'll use black no show mesh to stitch on and minimize the possibility of it showing. It's for an adult, so it won't be coming off

Thanks! I remember reading about that years ago, but forgot how. Do I use anything in particular to adhere it to the shirt? Do I just cut away the stabilizer, and not do any type of outline stitch on
