#MEANDER QUILTING EMBROIDERY FILE UPGRADE#
Some of the quilting designs Yvonne shows are contained in that upgrade kit. This is an optional accessory with the MC12000. But you can still use a USB stick or your USB cable to transfer designs you have edited to the machine to stitch out.Īnother difference may be the ACUFIL TOOL. One difference may be the WIFI aspect: the Janome MC12000 does not have WIFI compatibility so you are unable to use any of the Free APPS except for AcuDesign.

The steps Yvonne explains here are similar for the MC12000. Unfortunately we cannot cover such a large body of information in a blog comment forum.

If you are unsure of how to use these 2 fabulous features (which came standard with your MC12000), may I suggest that you consult your instruction manual the little blue ? in upper right corner of Horizon Link/Embroidery Link tool page once this software is installed and/or visit your dealer where you purchased your machine to obtain owner’s lessons on these topics. Yes, absolutely you can combine quilting or other designs on the edit screen of your MC12000 or in the Embroidery Link tool of Horizon Link. 3 options to do essentially the same editing depending on my preferences and needs…….Janome sure gives lots of options to our customers!

Using this method of quilting with the embroidery hoop always ensures picture perfect quilting designs on my project.Īn alternative to doing this editing on the screen of the Janome MC15000: I can also do the same editing in Embroidery Link Tool in Horizon Link software on my PC or in AcuEdit App on my iPad. Small spaces can then be filled in with free motion quilting (stipple, echo, meander, etc.) I use a neutral thread that blends with my fabric for this free motion step so that it does not take away from the embroidered designs I have created. Following wash away lines I have drawn on my quilt top, I can then make multiple hoopings across the quilt to fill the area.

Using the plastic template that comes with the hoop (Or better still, use the Acufil hoop with its hard plastic template and 8 magnetic clamps to hoop up the quilt). Once it is saved, I can call it up in the Acufil Tool Horizon Link software program and determine how many hoopings I will need to fill the selected size of quilt I want to create. Once I have my design created, I make sure I save it to the USB stick or directly into a folder on the machine. I can easily visualize how the design will look as I resize, recolor, and rotate the individual elements into the defined hoop area.


On the edit screen I can resize and reposition the elements I want to use to best fill the entire area of the hoop. I usually use the GR hoop as it is the largest one for my machine and then I can place multiple elements into that hoop. When I open the screen for my embroidery designs, I call up the designs I want to use from the built in quilting patterns and then go into the edit mode. All I need to do is edit them to the size hoop I want to use. There are so many lovely already digitized quilt designs built into the machine. I use my embroidery hoop to create a lot of my quilting designs. One of the features I really like is the editing feature built into my Janome MC15000 machine.
