it is a lot easier to just call the janome distributor customer service and ask them

I believe there is a new download to make these work with windows 7.

Go here and scroll down to "customizer 11000 v 1.50" or which ever program you have.

hi,
you will find ebay the best place to find card accessories for this machine. i have found heaps of cards for the 9000, including the 102. look for numbers with 3 digits for the 9000, 2 digits are for the older 8000, though they will work for the 9000 they are smaller and simpler designs.
ENHMC is another card label that works in our machines, made by amazing designs as after market cards. There are scanners and things second hand but they are a bit difficult. i find i get heaps of designs that you just pop in the machine.

You can use any machine embroidery software brand.

There are many that have free trials and demos. Embird is one brand that is very popular.

You start with Embird Studio and then add other programs as you become more knowledgeable about machine embroidery.

All ME software products run on Windows XP, Vista and some are now compatible with W7.

You can find more machine embroidery discussions/questions and answers at sewforum.com

You may not need the customizer 1000.

If you go to secretsofembroidery you can download a trial of Embird.

Create a folder on the hard drive of your PC and download a couple free designs from the Internet.

They may be zipped files and you will have to open or extract all.

The opened file is what you will work with. Open it with Embird and "save as" using the format for your embroidery machine.

Find the new design with the janome format and send it to the ATA card.

Insert the card into the embroidery machine.

You can find more information at the Janome site - http://janome.com/index.cfm/LearningCenter/Software_Lessons/82_Transferring%20Designs/113_MC10000_or_MC10001_version_3.0/Writing_To_An_ATA_PC_Card_(MC10001,_10000_V3.0)

You need a a Reader/Writer box with a blank Janome memory card (PCMCIA) and Cusomizer software. With that you can move your downloaded .sew designs into Customizer and on to the card via the Reader/Writer box provied that they are within the allowable size constraints.

Go to the Janome website and download the updated software that will allow Vista to have the correct driver. www.janome.com and click on Downloads.

Well I have the disk and the box but don't know how to use them. Do you have instructions or just know how to use it? I could send you a copy of the disk. Or I think you could find it on Ebay. Good luck and thanks in advance.

Firstly, format your compact flash card on your embroidery machine. This is presuming you have embroidery files in your jef format your machine reads on your computer. Place your compact flash in the compact flash card reader writer connected to your computer, open the compact flash card in your computer, open the file emb5. Now you can simply copy and paste a design from your computer to your flash card. It works for me. Goodluck.
