What You Need To Know About Needles: Red Tip
For best results with dense embroidery and thick fabrics, choose this Janome needle.
The first rule of sewing machine needles is: Use a new needle for each project. But you can ensure even better results by choosing the genuine Janome needle designed especially for your kind of project.
If you're sewing on thicker fabric or your doing particularly dense embroidery, we recommend the Janome Red Tip Needle. At size 14 it's a little thicker than our Blue Tip Needle, giving it extra strength and durability. It features a special flat back shank for easier installation, a sturdy shaft with front groove, and a larger eye to help prevent thread breakage.
Janome Red Tip needles are designed to work on all Janome sewing, quilting and embroidery machines.
New Product: Custom Accessory Bag For Janome Tables
Sewing Cabinet owners have a new place to store notions and supplies.
You've heard, "A place for everything and everything in its place." This is especially true if you have a Janome Sewing Cabinet (also known as an Industrial Table). You can now add some useful storage space to your cabinet with new Accessory Bags.
The set of bags attaches to each side of your cabinet, providing roomy pockets to store things like scissors, thread, needles, and other notions. Each bag has two 10" x 10" pockets for a total of four. When installed on your table, they hold your items where you can easily see and retrieve them.
The Custom Accessory Bag set fits both models of Janome sewing cabinets:
The Horizon Cabinet was designed specifically for the Memory Craft Horizon 7700QCP sewing and quilting machine, providing a generous formica-finished sewing surface of 45" x 19". It holds your Horizon in the flatbed position, at a comfortable work height, and has special openings so you can use the knee lift. It also includes a storage drawer.
The original Sewing Cabinet was created to accommodate the 1600 Professional, Memory Craft 6500P, and Memory Craft 6600P sewing machines. Like the Horizon Cabinet, this cabinet holds the machine in the flatbed position, accommodates a knee lift, contains one drawer, and provides a generous formica-finished sewing surface of 45" x 19".
The Sewing Cabinet Accessory Bags are available at your local Janome Dealer.

Video: Install A Zipper With The Zipper Foot E
Yes, YOU can put in a lap zipper.
Many sewists are intimidated by the thought of installing a hidden or lap zipper. For starters, the zipper's teeth will not fit under a standard presser foot. Then there's the challenge of sewing the zipper in so it looks straight. And finally you have get the lap to lay flat over the zipper.
Don't worry. It's not as hard as you think.
All Janome sewing machines come with a zipper foot, which allows you to sew a lap zipper into your project with ease. The Zipper Foot E can be snapped onto your machine so it sews on either side of the needle. That way the needle can get close enough to stitch but the zipper teeth don't go under the foot.
To install a lap zipper you simply sew a series of straight stitches, folding the zipper or the fabric back at each step. Once you see it done, it's not that complicated.
We created a video to show you the simple steps. Watch Zipper Foot - Narrow Base (High Shank) Video: Installing A Lap Zipper.

Super Spring Pillow Project in the Modern Quilter Style
Horizon Memory Craft 7700 QCP Enthusiast, Alissa Haight Carlton Brings Us A New Pillow Project
This simple, quilted pillow is an ideal beginning sewing project. With an envelope closure and simple piecing, it's super easy. But the incredible topstitching detail gives it an expert-level finishing touch. Alissa credits all those beautiful, perfectly straight and even lines to the precision of the Janome Horizon she uses for all her modern quilting.
What is Modern Quilting?
You can find out more from the Modern Quilt Guild. They describe it as: a new twist on the traditional art of quilting. It could be something as simple as using a traditional quilt block and updating it in a fresh, fun, new way, using modern fabrics, modifying the block arrangement or even the scale of the block.
The piecing could be improvisational and wonky, or it could be very exact and measured, following a pattern or creating your own. The quilting might be traditional stippling, clean straight lines or a very free and fun, quilt-as-you-go style. Fabrics could be upcycled vintage sheets, custom digital printed fabric, a yummy selection from one of the new modern fabric designers, or an old fabric from an ever growing stash.

Video: Calibrate Your MC11000 To The Clothsetter Table 11000
You get perfect embroidery placement and it works as an extension table.
The Clothsetter Extension Table is an exclusive accessory that does two jobs for the Memory Craft 11000 Special Edition sewing and embroidery machine. First, it allows you to place embroidery designs on your fabric with perfect accuracy. Second, it works as an extension table to give extra support to larger sewing projects.
The Clothsetter Extension Table enables you to get precise embroidery placement by giving you a way to place your project in exactly the right spot in your embroidery hoop. On your fabric you mark exactly where you want the center of your design and then use the crosshairs on the Clothsetter to adjust your fabric in the hoop until it's in the right position.
But before you use your Clothsetter Extension Table, you need to calibrate it to your specific MC11000 machine.
This involves stitching out the test embroidery pattern built in to your machine. You place it in your Clothsetter, and then make fine adjustments to the arm position until the crosshairs line up. It's actually pretty easy to do.
Watch Clothsetter Table 11000 Video: Calibrating To Your Machine.
To learn more about this accessory, you can watch all six instructional videos. They're all listed on the Clothsetter Table 11000 page.
