AcuFil Works

AcuFil quilting
The AcuFil program for my Janome 12000 worked perfectly to quilt the two large squares on the table runner from my previous post.  I did have a couple of issues but once I figured out the center feature on the program, the design fit perfectly in the space.  I'm anxious to use the program with other quilts.  Very easy once I learned the basics.

I have really enjoyed my Janome 12000 and all its features.  I especially like the large hoops and being able to embroider large designs.  I also used the built in dual feed feature yesterday to sew the patchwork pieces together and do the "in -the-ditch" quilting.  I'm gradually learning many of the machine's features.  There is so much to learn but I'm lov'in it!

So NEAT and perfect centering and stitiching. What a neat feature for quilters. My 6600 has the built in dual feed feature with several different feet. My FAVORITE is the Dual Feed Quarter Inch Foot. It is fantastic for sewing on binding. I had to buy it seperate. I bet the 1200 comes with one. Great job on this cute quilt. Love the Fabrics, too.

It is amazing what we learn when we read the instructions manuals! And now there are instructional DVDs available. It does make life interesting.
