I would call Janome directly and complain about that dealer. It's possible you got a lemon. In the meantime, have you ever tried a different bobbin case? I ask because mine have never been hit, droppe

I believe ASQ is Accufil Square, and GR is Great or, Giant Rectangle. And, obviously, HH is Hat Hoop.

I don't think there's an actual feature for moving the hoop past the needle to expose the bobbin, but move the hoop far enough back, unhook it and just balance it on the arm and hoop bed. This moves t

If it just stops and beeps with no message, take it to a dealer. Mine was doing this and it was a sensor issue. It's completely gone since I had it serviced. If it stops but starts again, it's checkin

Didn't Janome just come out with a couching foot for the newer machines? Jumping off the couch, Jim replies: Yes they did. The free motion couching foot set (Part #202110006) fits 9mm machines and 7mm

It's the machine checking to see how much bobbin is left. If it's good, it starts up again. -Whitney

Unfortunately, just abutting the designs is not enough to make them merge and stitch out as one. To do that, I think you'd need at least a basic embroidery editing program, like Janome's Digitizer Jr.

I saw that and wondered about it. I love couching yarn and so far have been using a rolled hem foot or the cording foot with thin yarn. I have the yarn embroidery foot. Is this foot different than tha

My machine has done this. It's checking the bobbin. It seems like it kind of randomly does it. It always checks it between colors and when I stop it, but a few times it's completely stopped during the

In the pics, the bobbin itself looks the same, but they have that little channel doodad to run the bobbin thread through on the left side, like Brother/Babylock have. Bummer about the hoops. Thanks fo

I've just seen this is posted now on a few websites. It has the embroidery unit like the 12K, but two different hoops. One is a 5.5x5.5 that's square, not oval, and a 6.7x7.9, which isn't a 5x7, but c

I saw your stitch it looks great! Thanks for sharing! -Whitney

You need to click on the little triangle. -Whitney

It also may be that there's a stray stitch somewhere, either one at the beginning or the end of the embroidery that makes the design too big for the frame. That's happened to me before. -Whitney

I agree with Vicki that you can't enter a stitch to jump to it, but as you hold the + or - button longer, it starts skipping more stitches at a time. First by ones, then tens, then hundreds. I'm not s

Jim, I downloaded your link for the Fall 2011(?) issue, and the file one downloads has a ; after the .pdf, rendering unusable until you delete that ;. Just thought I'd let people know.

I added a few more. I'd love for this folder to become sort of an exchange for original stitches!

I uploaded a file to a folder in 'Files', but I'm not sure it works. Can anyone try to download and open it and let me know?

Has anyone played around with this yet? My creative juices are starting to flow since we moved last month and I finally set up my machine today! I've survived by creating some stitches that are adorab

Is that the new quilting hoop? Is it 8x8 or 9x9? I kind of wanted one until you posted that price! I agree that the lack of a 5x7 is awful. I can't hoop small shirts at all anymore, and I made a lot o
