Hello, my neighbor just got the Janome 500E and I went over to watch it in action. Was impressed with the fact it doesn't have those large knots on the back where the machine ties off before jumping to another area. My Babylock gives me the large knots so was thinking of getting this machine for my embroidery.

My friend said she had to use the free program that came with it to transfer her designs to the USB stick. She tried to transfer the designs without going thru the program and the machine doesn't recognize them. I was hoping to be able to use my Embird program as I always have and since updating the program to 10.17 it shows the hoops for the 500E.

I joined one Yahoo group for Janome but was hoping there was a specific one just for the 500E. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
