Cynthia- Get some UNWAXED dental floss and cut a piece about 15in long. Thread it thru the machine as if it was sewing thread and hold the ends, one in each hand, as you floss back and forth. It's awe

Susan- You are right- if you download a design from online and get it in jef format... it should be right for the 350e. The exception is if it's oriented in the correct direction for the hoop. If even

Janis- Please do not use alcohol on your hoops. It will dry out the plastic and then you'll end up with cracked/broken hoops when you least are needing that to happen!! There are other things that wil

Try rotating your design 90 degrees. If even 1 stitch is outside the hoop measurements in width or height, the machine won't see the design. The B hoop for the MC10000/10001 has max embroidery size of

Joyce- I forgot with my other reply to respond to another of your questions about how Diane's video shows threading the take-up lever by threading from left to right and crossing your thread over as y

L size bobbins are not as tall when you set them on your sewing table/desk, as the Class 15 (also known as Size A like Jim said) bobbins. Janome machines are made with a deeper area for the bobbin and

Judy- The felling feet that I found were generic ones on the Sewing Parts Online website. Janome's site was acting goofy for me so I was not able to find them there- but that doesn't mean that Janome

Judy- Yes, there are felling feet for low shank and high shank machines. I don't know what model Janome you want one for. I found them on the sewingpartsonline website. They have them for different wi

Dianne- Just skip ahead in the stitching order on your machine, stitch out the lettering. Then go back and do the backing for your project. I have found that anything I add to a design, stitches out a

Is everyone on the group moderated? I'm thinking the answer is "no". I'm curious to know- how long does it take to be able to reply to messages, and not be moderated? I've been a member of the group f

Mary- The most common reason for this is that the design (on your computer) is not rotated so that it will fit the orientation of the hoop you have chosed. Turn the design 90degrees, save it to the US

Cheryl- I have never been able to do a flatlock stitch with 4 threads. You would leave a ridge with that 2nd needle so I do not believe it's possible. Using 3 threads, and some tensions loose (needle)

Try stiffening the organza with some liquified water-soluble stabilizer scraps. I think because the organza is limp/wimpy is part of the reason you are having issues. Try increasing your lower looper

The MC10000 will not read a Jef+ format either. It will only read .sew or .jef format designs. I agree with Favymtz - use a copy/paste method to transfer designs to your compact flash card for the mac

Carole- I've used 100wt thread on many quilts that have been washed and dried and ironed. Never has the thread been an issue. I don't use the highest heat on my iron any longer since I've got wool pre

Carole- Yes, your plan should work. I've used 100wt Invisifil on several machines when quilting. It disappears so you don't have to change thread all the time to match colors of your fabric which is t

Shirley- I've got the same machine, but have used it lots so you'll be happy to get back to using yours. If you are not able to have the 10001 serviced, you will need to, at the very least oil the wic

Kathy, Are you using the patchwork stitches like shown in your manual? If not, that is likely why you do not get the message about repeating the seam length or not. Must be in Patchwork. There is a re

You could try Ken's Sewing Ctr (Muscle Shoals, AL - they ship pretty fast if it's in stock), Sew Steady (for a Westalee foot): or Kentucky Quilts (Bowling Green, KY also ships quickly) is where I got

Jeanniett- I know that using inches is "easier" if you have not gotten involved with using metric measurements - but I'd like to suggest not making the change and leaving your measurements as metric s
