Dont know if this thread is still alive. I bought a new to me Janome1600 on Grace frame. Well, shortly after, the lady I bought it from had a family crisis ,so not available to give me any training. Then I have had a year of Chemo. I bought this system knowing NOTHING but very eager to learn. I did a few practice "dog beds" Lol. But I dont have a clue how to load frame or how to get started. I am taking advantage of online classes, but still very intimidated how to start. Dont even know if the setup is "set up" correctly! Would love to find someone in Oklahoma who I could pay for a couple of days of training...
