New Janome is here!
A new machine! My husband purchased the Janome Jem Gold 3 for me for Christmas and I'm so pleased with it! It is simple; there's no computer - it runs much like my 20 year old "died" a few months ago. I LOVE it! The tension was easy to set and it sews like a dream. I'm happy to know that I now have .7mm instead of .9mm and now will be able to get true 1/4" seams. Harriet Hargrave suggested a sewing machine that was not an embroidery machine for your quilting machine. Thanks for the tip, Harriet!
Quilt a Month
NEBRASKA QUILT MUSEUM LINK
I signed up to view a quilt a month from Nebraska's large quilt museum. It makes for interesting viewing and you can get great inspiration!

Exciting news for Janome quilters!
Exciting news for Janome owners!
From Diane Guadynski's blogspot:
"Recently in my Paducah classes I saw the new Janome foot, below, photo by Ann Fahl and used with her permission.
(See Diane Guadynski's blogspot for the photo.)
This foot comes with three options for the base, an open toe, a closed toe, and a large circular plastic foot with rings in it used as guides for spacing free motion quilting such as echo quilting.
What attracted my eye immediately to it was the built-in way to adjust it in the spring itself, on the foot itself. Instead of adjusting how tight the foot sits on the quilt, you can easily change the foot itself to float more easily, to eliminate the hopping action, and glide instead, whatever you like. It worked very well for those who had it on their Janomes.
Sometimes we don't realize the right tool will do the job better and make quilting so much easier and more relaxing."
Thank you so much for sharing, Diane!
