This group is hosted by Diane and Jim Stutsman. We were Janome dealers for 25 years, until our retirement in early 2011. We are continuing to develop...
I just got my machine and it is wonderful! I am very happy that you have started this group! The quality of the machine is great and I especially like the...
It appears that the File Manager is used to move designs back and forth between your computer and the machine. The structure of the 12000 is different from...
I foolishly published my "Welcome" post before we had any members, so this is a belated welcome to the 18 who have so far signed up. Based on the comments of...
Hi Jim, Thank you for starting this list as I am sure we will all have many questions. Who better to answer them? As I anxiously await for the delivery of my...
Hi, I am trying to register my machine online, but I don't see it listed on the registration screen. I have emailed Janome about this, but if anyone has any...
Just before getting the 12000 Diane was asked to evaluate a Brother 6700D, the top of line model for Brother. It required our entire dining room table to set...
Jim, I don't know anything about Brother - no dealer near me - but in comparing the Janome 12000 with other major TOL brands, it won handily in the quality...
This happened with the 7700 when it first came out. Janome outsources most of their website work, and hasn't updated it just yet. I would suggest just sitting...
Pat the alignment stitches are only on the border designs that are installed with the Horizon Link software. They are put there during digitizing, not by the...
Not a happy camper, when I paid a deposit 2 weeks ago I was told I could pick up my machine today. Not so they won't now be available until November. Thank you...
After posting my last message, I recieved a call, I now have my 12000 and I am very impressed with it so far. I now have to wait until the weekend to play some...
Well that's good news! It wouldn't surprise me if there are people that wind up waiting, though. I think the earthquake and tsunami have disrupted production a...
My new 12000 arrived safe and sound yesterday. I sat and stitched many of the decorative stitches last night. Today I used the embroidery unit for most of...
Hi! I am in Australia and hope to see the 12000 next week when the Dealer brings it back from the launch. It sounds very exciting. I have many designs in VP3...
Jim asked us to introduce ourselves when we joined. I live in Alberta, Canada and am looking forward to getting my 12000. We had a launch at our dealers Oct....
I've been anticipating the arrival of this machine since the beginning of the summer and I'm so glad to have found this list. I've been googling and you...
Hi,my name is Tina, I live in New Zealand and have ordered the 12000, we are having a demonstration on the 12000 on the 2nd November, and our machines don't...
Wow Chris, you had me all puffed up like a balloon until you crashed & burned me with that Mac comment! Fortunately I'm not alone - my Apple fans & I brought...
I'm baffled as to why NZ has to wait so much longer, when the 12000 is already making an appearance in Australia. Are they still upset about that whole "Lord...
Hi Everyone To answer Tina’s Questions: Yes, the designs read faster from the USB stick. The new HorizonLink software that comes with the machine sends...
My 12000 is here and I get to pick it up tomorrow...yay! I'm trading in an MC11000 which has been upgraded to an SE; it's six years old and in excellent...
At six years I would guess you can expect something close to half the price of a new 11000. Of course every dealer is different, your mileage may vary, yada...
Thanks for the advice, Jim, I'll check the market. I want to be prepared cuz any little bit I can save tomorrow will go toward goodies for the new machine at...
May I suggest a menu of flat food, i.e. items that can be slid under the door to the sewing room? Pizza, cheese slices, thin bread. crackers. Spaghetti would...
The hardest thing I've done in a while is convince myself to walk away from the 12000 at Betty's Bobbin Box! I may have to go back to work and get one before...
Hi - my name is Vicki and I live in the UK. I'm really looking forward to getting my machine which I hope will be delivered by the end of the month. I do...
Cheryl if you can do a dual trade-in, that's a hero deal. When Diane got the 7700 she thought it was the best machine ever. That's only happened twice before,...
Vickie we've used several different threads in both needle and bobbin, with no issues at all. Tension has been perfect with everything. When altering some...
