Thank you so much for all the feedback and tips etc. I really appreciate it. The frame is built and the Janome is out of its box. Unfortunately I am a bit sick at the moment so I am not going to able to play straight away. I know I am going to have to be patient and get used to tension etc. I know longarms are best but a longarm in the uk is way out of my price range. Who knows maybe years down the line. I will print of the list of tips and laminate it and hang it on the frame somewhere . The company I bought the frame, janome and surestitch from are very helpful on the phone and said when I ordered do not hesitate to phone them if I have any issues at all. I have dealt with them before and their after sales care is excellent.
