I can't get the correct driver for Janome MC 10001 for Vista 64bi

You can go the the Janome web site to find drivers for your computer. When you save designs to the memory card you must save them in a folder (emb, i think}.Put a blank card in the machine while the machine is off anf=d then turn the machine on,,,It will make the folder for you.

Good Luck

Oil only as instructed in the manual. As a computerized machine, it could be severely damaged from oil being applied in a sensitive area.

FAT error fixed! Formatted using my Canon SLR camera.
I would like to credit whomever it was that suggested using the Camera to check if the card was working for the thought. I had spent many hours attempting to format and reformat my cards using Windows 10 64bit Pro machine. They would work perfectly fine on the computer but would fail on my MC 10001 every time. The MC also failed when trying to format on the sewing machine. Then I stumbled across this thread. I can only guess that the age of technology has become incompatible with the way my computer formats the card. Once I formatted using the camera, everything magically works. Of course, I needed to reformat using the MC machine; but, that was a breeze. I hope this helps someone!

High Shank Machines are all the Janome Embroidery models MC 8000, MC 9000, 10000, 10001, 11000, 200E, 300E, 350E....etc
If yours is not an embroidery machine, it has a LOW SHANK .....the higher shank allows for easier access for the embroidery hoop

The Janome website may have a driver you can download.

I also had the same problem with my mother-in laws MC 100001 & Vista. So far I have been unable to find a driver for Vista. We happened to have a laptop with XP, so we installed the software and the drivers worked fine (WIN 2000 driver for XP). At present this is the only work around that I have been able to find.

If you're running Vista, you'll need new drivers for your Janome

You are threading the top of the machine incorrectly.

Make sure the needle is in correctly with the flat side to the rear of the machine, make sure to thread the upper and lower portions of the machine correctly. If this does not solve your problem, please respond.

contact me back at [email protected] and i will send you all the drivers i have.
when i got mine working, i believe sometimes it is just by LUCK that things work.
