Have you ever tried to teach someone how to use a machine that you know nothing about?. My friend bought a Janome. I have a Brother. It is like trying to teach someone another language that you have no knowledge of. My Brother is just so easy to read in simple steps. Luckily I have given her some other pointers when doing embroidery.

Your friend is lucky to have you. It's so much to learn other than the machine.

She's lucky to have a close friend to help her whether you sail through the Janome quirks or not, you excel at embroidery!

Yes and not by choice. I always recommend that we pull out the manual first and go from there. Kudos to you for doing this.

I still bet she thinks you're wonderful Lyn for trying to help out. Between the two of you I'm sure you will get there. Love C

My Friend will be able to have lessons but she wanted to get started right away.

I am not going to try and will wait until she knows all the ins and out of her machine and then I will watch her sew.

I have done this a few times , because I do everything on the machine everyone expect me to know how to use their machines , not only that my son is a Bernina Tech and they think I can fix them to , as I told a lady the other day I am the Tech Mum not the Tech it took him a four year to learn his trade and has worked in it for 27 years that is why he is so good .

The store that she purchased the machine should give machine usage instruction.

I think she has been offered free lessons for 1 year.

Between your tips and the manual, a little practice and she will be on her way.

She is a mad quilter so with the new machine I can see many, many quilts coming from her house now.
