Please....Please can someone tell me why this Machine Embroidery section is not yet a new link? I know there was some discussion about it sometime ago .... but surely it's popularity shows there are many of us that use embroidery as part of our quilts.
It would be great if it were.

I too have an 11,000.
Hi, I have the Janome 11,000. Had the 9,000 for 13 yrs, but wanted to be able to do larger designs. I use the Customizer that comes with it for sizing, downloading, etc. It is so much fun, I use it nearly every day. I will take a pic of the shirt I made DH for Christmas and get it on here soon. I like to do pants legs and shirts and quilt blocks. Also love the free standing lace, Embroidery.com has great lace Christmas ornaments. They are so nice to slip in with Christmas cards.

I have a Janome 11,000 SE and I am very frustrated because I cannot find anyone to teach me how to use this machine. The dealer I bought it from did not know much more than me when I bought it. HELP!!!!! Where do I go for advice. Know nothing about how to use stabilizers and what kind.

I'm almost ready to start quilting my embroidery quilt. Nine blocks with embroidery, sashing, inner and outer borders. Well - almost, almost ready - since I'm replacing the sashing with a different color. A day's work to finish and be ready to baste.
So, I think I mentioned before that the blocks are pretty dense - but they seem worse in my dreams than in real life and are fine.
Anyway, what would be the best batting to use to try to "hide" the stiffness. If I use a low loft, I'm afraid that the distinct back of a dense block will be too obvious through the back.
I'm thinking a mid-loft poly because I don't want any shrinkage of the batting. What do you think?
Thanks,
Cathy

"Sticky" Embroidery thread
I've used my embroidery machine many times to create blocks I use in my quilts. I would love to have this thread easier to access without having to look through all the post everytime.
My photo is an example of a machine embroidered applique of "SunBonnet Bells".
