Embroidery Machines Lets Chat & Have Fun

Somebody mentioned bobbin problems with Janome. Several times I thought the bobbin was misbehaving, but always found if I pull out the bobbin and the thing it's in, and clean out all the fluff junk in there, it works fine. I have a small paintbrush that I use to stick down in back of the bobbin area, and it catches dust bunnies in there like crazy. I do wish I could get new designs from the internet, but the converter box I'd need cost about $500, which is way too much for me, especially now that I've retired.

I have the Viking SE. Have purchased a few CD with designs, however, don't know how to use it very well. Would love to share.

I just found this thread and have read all the posts!!! Just what I needed. I have a Babylock Ellisimo and have really enjoyed this machine. I love this machine. I've learned bits and pieces with embroidery and have made 3D fall leaves and christmas decorations. I also made mug rugs with embroidery designs. I made a family tree quilt with all the branches and leaves depicting sons and daughters and grand and great grand children (128 names) for my MIL's 90th birthday party. I've made other quilts but just stitched in the ditch and a very small amount of fm (not so good at this task). It's all been fun.
I still need to learn quilting in the hoop. I've messed up several times with the hooping. Gail-r do you have your e-book completed and are you still teaching the art of hooping? I want to tap into your knowledge. Since you don't live too far away from me I would love to take a class from you.
I've enjoyed reading what you all are doing.

I have the Bernina 830 with all the hoops. I am taking classes to learn to use this machine. I bought a kit made for the Bernina. It has a DVD with 8 different designs that go on this quilt. I am taking the DVD, the quilt kit and a USB stick to my next class and have my teacher help me embroider one of the blocks so I will know how to use it. I don't even know how to download the designs from the DVD to my USB stick. I tried, but couldn't do it. My sewing machine has an update and I don't know how to load the update onto a USB stick so I can upload it onto my sewing machine. If you can't tell, I'm not good with computers.

I have the Janome MC9000, Brother Innovis 500D, Brother ULT2003D, and the PR600II. I do lots of digitizing. Right now I am making designs to put on toilet paper.
