Need Easy Transfer for my Janome 10001

Hi Helen

A very small can of WD40 comes in handy.
Just a light spray over moving parts then wipe off the excess.
Run a test piece through first

Cheers

Will the machine accept any other formats? Do you have the software to convert the file to another format?

Please go to the following site:http://content.janome.com/index.cfm/Machines/Retired/MC10000 This is where you will see the info/user manual etc. on the "retired" unit. The second site: http://content.janome.com/index.cfm/LearningCenter/Software_Updates This is where you will see the software updates. If you do not have any of the operating CD's and you do not have the LPT1 "Dongle" (security plug) which allows the unit to communicate with the software, you may need to see a Janome Authorized Dealer.

This is not the same model, but may be the same solution -- http://janome.com/fusetalk/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=7&threadid=639

See if you can run the program in compatibility mode, with win 2000 or xp.

you need to contact Janome here

Are you checking the simple things such as making sure you have the presser foot up when you thread and the tensions set between 4 and 6, bobbin in the correct way round and tension enough to pull the thread through with some resistence.

The memory card cannot be over 128 mb. Also the files need to be .jef format and stored in an emb folder on the card. I hope this helps.

You need to have Customizer og Digitizer pro to send design by cable to you MC10001.

You can also use a PCMCIA adapter in your MC10001 and a CF memorycard..you also need a memorycard reader to write to your CF card from your computer

here's how I do it.
1. Get the design into jef or sew format (the only kinds janome reads). You probably already knew this, but some newbies try to use pes or art files.
2. Save it onto your computer (and remember the name of the file). I have a folder in my computer labelled "embroidery files" and then have subfolders dividing up those designs - such as animals, flowers, fonts.
3. Hook your sewing machine up to the computer via the USB cable.
4. Pull up your Janome "Easy Transfer" program (it came as a CD with your machine - this is NOT the customizing software).
5. Use that program to find your embroidery file. It's not going to show sew and jef in the same file - you'll have to switch back and forth.
6. On your sewing machine, click on the bottom button (under the screen) that shows the computer to the sewing machine (the third one).
7. Now click on the computer software "write to machine" or whatever it's called (it will be on the top tool bar).
8. Your file will be written to the sewing machine's memory and organized by the embroidery hoop size (A, B, C).
9. It will stay in the sewing machine memory until you use the cable hookup to delete it (reverse of the writing).
10. The 10001 software ate lots of the resident memory in the sewing machine - you can't store as many designs in it as the 10000 would allow. That's perfectly ok, as it only takes a few moments to move designs in and out of the machine.

To be perfectly honest, I vastly prefer doing the USB cable transfer to using the memory card jammed into the card reader deal. It's easy and quick.
