I'm hoping this gets where it should so I can thank all of you for your suggestions about storing thread. I totally forgot about the obvious no-no of a rack; exposing it to dust and fading. I don't po

I apologize for not knowing where this message will land. It's intended to go to the group as a whole, but thetre's no recipient in the reply box! I started reading the Yahoo group mail at g-mail, but

Hope this isn't a duplicate - the first one disappeared in mid sentence! I bought the 12000 2 years ago, and I like it very much. I (probably foolishly) wandered over to the 15000 at a quilt show yest

I used to use Floriani thread, and found it broke on any machine I used. I was advised to use Isacord, and I haven't had any more problems. Some people have no problem with Floriani, but I gave all mi

I'm making Christmas tree napkins and using the quarter circle cut around ruler. I find my rotary cutter consistency seems to hit something in the slot, and I can't finish the circle. I'm using the 45

Thank you Ceil and Cas; I'm going to try both ways! I thought I was doing something wrong when I kept chipping the shape cut ruler. I'll try the smaller rotary cutter on a different slot and see what

Although I have the 12000 and not the 15000, I just wanted wanted to share my experience of buying from a local dealer. Right after 15000 came out, I contacted my dealer and asked him to put me on a l

Thank you so much for the coaster design! I read way more than I write, and many of my questions are answered that way. I've been doing more sewing than embroidery lately, and need to brush up on thos

Guess I should consider myself lucky that I'm left handed. I keep all kinds of things in my hand, but it's not very close to the screen. I have adapted to many things in a right handed world without m

I finally decided to get out the DVD's and learn how to use Horizon Link to see my designs. The included instructional DVD didn't help me, so I decided to play Jim and Diane's DVD. In spite of comment

I have the Koala Treasure Chest IV, and love the extra height because I'm tall, and it would have killed my back to use the regular height extension on the back for cutting. I was able to purchase the

Why is it that there's "never enough", be it fabric, designs, space or money for it all! In addition to everything else, I have easily over 100 t-shirts in bins left over from the time when I thought

I've had the program for quite a while, but when I went to try it out again lately, couldn't figure out how to use it 😕 Same thing with Wilcom TrueSizer. I have Wilcom (another impulse purchase) and I

As soon as I can get to the Apple Store and unlock my IPad I'm going to download the info about winding bobbons. I managed to lock myself out of it when I kept trying to use the password that I had wr

I think my 12000 came with the yellow one it, and I've never changed it. I was too lazy to look up what I should use. Just once I had bobbin thread show through so I rethreaded the machine and all was

Out of curiosity, is it any more user friendly than Wilcom? I bought Wilcom quite a while ago because I succumbed to an online demo, and one other person who was watching told me how fantastic it was.

I didn't write in about the bobbin issue, but want to thank you for posting the information. I printed the summary at the end and taped it to the machine so I'll remember to change it. I thought my 12

Thanks! After much mispent money, I finally learned my limitations. At one point I had a 15 needle thinking I would have an embroidery business. Didn't listen to the voice of reason that said "That's

I went to a 2 day class a few years ago, and to me, it was a big push to buy a Brother machine,and purchase Anita Goodesign products. I was supposed to stay with a friend, and go back the second day.

Hi Jane, I'm so sorry about your daughter. I lost my son 3 years ago, and it is truly devastating. I don't remember how I found them, but there's an international organization called Compassionate Fri
