Does anyone have any experience with ordering a design from Urban Threads? I ordered a design from them earlier in the week, I think on Tuesday. For some reason I am unable to use the design. I have a Baby Lock machine and ordered a PES format. The design size is 9.?? x 5.??. I tried to use a hoop that is 11 x 7. My machine is telling me that I cannot use this hoop. I sent an email to their CS on Wed. still have not heard back from them. Does anyone else have any experience with them?

I have to agree with Krystyna, keep saving ad get a more recent machine. 500$ is a huge chunk for an old model and it would take the poster towards a more flexible, modern machine, even if a pre-owned one. These machines are computerized. While my 7 year old Janome 9700 is running like a top, I at least know the history of use since I am the original owner. Though, when the time comes to upgrade mine, maybe I could get more than 500$ for it.

Janome 10000 and 11000
Hi Karen,
I have a Janome 10000 too and the 11000 and I feel very fortunate to have both. While I embroider on one I piece on the other, getting exercise when changing colours for the embroidery. A win win situation I'd say! I think you will love your machine, and it has a high standard of stitch quality. I started with the MC70000 and have traded in up to the present day. They have been very reliable throughout. The only criticism/problem I have experienced is with the screw on the hoops. I have worn them out and had to replace them. The threads got worn and would not grip hard enough.
I wish you luck and look forward to seeing your projects.

Oh, I should say...unless you are transferring designs to a PED Basic card....in which case it should read!

Yes, it is telling me I cannot use this hoop. The design is reading 8.60 x 4.63. The hoop size is 10.25 x 6.25. My machine is a Baby Lock Ellageo Plus. I think this may be an older design. I have never had to reformat a design as of yet. I have only had my machine a few months, and still fairly new to embroidery. Can you possibly tell me how to do this? Thanks for your help.

I went to the brother dealer yesterday and saw their PE780 which is the dealer version of the PE770. i have pretty much decided that is the way i should go. I did like it except their price was $999 on sale. I'll just have to push down this strong urge that I gotta buy a machine NOW... and save a few more $$$ and keep watching for the right sale.

Check ebay, you might get a machine a few hundred dollars cheaper.

On overstock.com, the Brother PE 770 is $597. Sign up for their emails, and often there will be 7% or 10% discounts which really makes this more affordable. Even now, there is a coupon for $20 off a $150 purchase. Every little bit helps.
