On my machine I have to reset the tension -- when embroidering the thread is pulled to the back, when quilting you want it to meet in the middle.

Ania,
Which machine do you have again? Do you mean wind the bobbin or go back a few stitches in embroidery?

Chamby....go to the www.Emblibrary. They have awesome designs and you get free designs as well without having to pay for membership......you may embroider on your pillows ( with same color scheme too ..its i teresting and quite ....) you can make pot holders, table runners and wall hangers....you can also embroider certain blocks on some of the blocks no matter if its for a baby or adult baby....( flowers, birds and so much more ) good luck !!!

My experience is that "embroidery" stitching on my machine is never pretty on the back. I have come to conclusion that it is the BACK and to not fret. It is what it is.

No need to be crying your heart off! Read your manual. Unplug the foot pedal from the Janome (i have 3 of them) and the machine will not "stitch" during the winding of bobbins. Once you push the bobbin post into winding position, all should be well.

A word of advice...well meaning word, i never relied on my machine dealer to help me learn machine embroidery, etc all of these years. He did not have anyone on staff working when I needed help or it was a Sunday or after hours, etc. I re-read the manuals, I do as you are doing, ask the Board! Even with my latest purchase in November, the owners manual lacks in some technical "tips" or info so asking for help, sharing advice. Here and on other forums is most helpful. Janome has a forum on their website. Go there too, join and ask away!

Enjoy your machine...after 8 years of machine embroidery, I learn something new every day.

i also don't feel "limited" with my 5 X 7 hoop. I love to personalize my polo shirts with cute designs, sayings, etc. I admit to never using my Giga hoop for my Janome 9700. Embroidery takes a lot of time to do and hooping, re hooping, positioning, etc takes even more time and expertise. I have always been very happy with the hoops I have. Maybe I am too lazy to learn! lol! Pick your poison.

have FUN,

That's funny, Lyn. I'm still in the staring stage.
