Loved finding this. After years of lusting after an embroidery machine, I am buying a Janome 9000 this morning. I know it isn't the latest and greatest but it is what I can afford on my senior pension. Squeee!

@@TheIslandScribe I just bought a Janome 9000 today 5/10/24 as well. I’M soooooo happy.

[@margaretbass773]

Thx so much. I haven' t embroidered on my machine for so long so had to look up your site!! Now I am retired, I am excited to get going again!!!

[@kathyfitzwater6887]

Thank you so much for posting this.

[@annphilbeck5174]

just got this machine with book and owners workbook. sews wonderfully. need to learn more!!!

[@consolw]

I’ve had this machine since it first came out. I have a project where I need to scan the design I want to embroider and I can’t do that on my very expensive Pfaff without buying a very expensive computer program. So, I scanned it onto a Janome memory card, but I needed a refresher on how to use the embroiderer. Went on KZbin and found you! For which I’m profoundly grateful. Thank you in advance because if this turns out well I will have a very happy hubby!

[@sigridbressler7175]

I've been waiting to see a video such as yours.....really done well with your explanations.....Thank you !

[@tcoleman2162]

I just got this machine at an estate sale for 150 bucks including the cabinet and lots of goodies. The problem is there was no hoops so I’ll be on the hunt. Thank you for this great video.❤❤❤

[@jorgerobles628]

Any hoop for the following models will work- MC 9500, MC 300E, MC 350, Bernina DECO 330 and 340, and the older Elna 8200, and Kenmore Ergo Elite models. All these models were made by Janome. Good luck!!!!

[@sonjaschultz2722]

Thank you for showing us how to use this machine... I've been looking for a long time for videos on the MC9000.

[@bobbinsew]

I’ve got this wonderful machine, along with the Scanner and Customiser software plus card reader, as well as multiple hoops and cards and the wool embroidery kit you mentioned. I’m just starting to learn how to use it, we’ve got the card reader attached to the PC, and I created, transferred, and stitched out a design. Such a feeling of accomplishment! Thanks for the video, it’s a great starting place.

[@marymeaker6695]

Thank you!!! This is the best tutorial I've found. I've got my manual open also.

[@ISEW]

Hi Christopher I have an Elna 9006 I got it 24 or25 years ago it was made before Jerome bought out Elna sewing machines, and my cloth setter is right on center . It has sewed miles and still working well, a real work horse. Best money I ever spent.

[@jorgerobles628]

I went to the three Janome dealers in my city and they could not help me with anything regarding this machine or the 8000 coz these machines are very old and the people who works there are not that old to know these models. The only thing the dealers can do is to do some repairs, and that's it. So I went to the Janome web site, and on the Retired Machine's section, got the manual for mine, and read it, and that is how I learned mine. On many machines from all the different brands, it is very difficult to find someone who remembers the older models. I went to a Bernina dealer asking for embroidery accessories for my B830 LE model, and the seller after checking in her computer told me that model didn't do any embroidery, so could not sell anything to me. She was a 31 year old lady, and the owner that was there told her she would help me, and showed her employee my machine was the precursor of the Bernina B 880 just discontinued in May 2024. So this thing of going to the dealer and ask for older machines is not very helpful at times coz not everyone knows about them. And anyway, my MC 9000 died on me, the touchscreen stop working.........

[@10AntsTapDancing]

I bought one second hand in 2004 and used it for sewing but couldn't get to grips with the embroidery part. I have learnt a lot just from your video about the embroidery so will give it another try.

[@victoriapowell1118]

Hello Christopher, I have the 8000 model, I bought from a friend 2 years ago, I love it, still trying to know it well, glad I found you here in you tube, learned a lot, the led light is the prob now

[@creed2722]

My mother purchased this machine in the early 90's and has given it to me. This is my first experience with an embroidery machine. I am really interested in more tutorials on using the different feet and functions. Any tips will be so helpful. Thank you kindly.

[@sarahlacek7834]

That was helpful thanks!! I inherited this from my grandmother and am trying to figure it all out on my own since she’s no longer around. Trying to get to a lesson too.

[@tpfleg]

Thank you so much!! I just received this machine as a gift, and I'm so thankful for your help!

[@charwellman7045]

You are great at this.. I have had my 9000 for 10 years and finally ...Finally Know how to attach a hoop and use the embroidery..

[@HeatherCuriel]

Thanks so much for posting this. My mom bought this machine in the early 90s and only ever used it for sewing. I had no idea how to embroider with it til now.

[@nonieharries7441]

I have just bought one of these so any videos that you do will be hugely helpful!

[@marthaswartz882]

You do take care of all your machines. This is an oldie but a goodie.

[@dlgraham7975]

Thank you for the demo ! I have this machine with cartridges and needed this to know how to use it. Please do more demos!

[@anissaa1520]

very helpful, I see this machine listed for an estate sale Friday along with other brand embroidery machines (singer quantum xl1000, brother pc 8200) and sergers. This has been the best video across the brands. I want a 2020 embroidery machine, but I decided to dip my toe in those waters with these older models. I hope I can score a great deal.

[@ritahanderahan9841]

I bought this machine in 1990 still use it today it works beautifully I have it serviced once a year and have no problems at all with it

[@grahamclaireeyles8075]

[@JudyBell-z3x]

I just was given a Janome 9000 and knew nothing about it. Your video was very helpful in getting me started. I'll play with it a bit then review your video again. Thanks! PS are there more?

[@grandma27or8]

Love it. Thank you so much!!

[@lorrainejones3703]

Thank you for the informative video. I've been looking for and having trouble finding information on the largest size lettering this machine will do do you happen to know how many inches the largest lettering is?

[@bobbinsew]

The embroidery area is 4x4 inches or 100mm x 100mm, so if you have the right software and hardware ( see my reply to Dani) you can stitch out a letter up to that size. Going further if you have a program such as Embrilliance Enthusiast you can split the letter into parts and make it as big as you want so long as you are accurate when multi hooping. Edited to add: I’ve just looked at the manual and the lettering in the machine memory can be stitched out at about 1inch high,

[@carolbroz8439]

I am not sure how to center my embroidery. My instruction manual says to use Card 102 and pattern 47 and then when you press OK it makes a stitch and then you go on to the pattern you want to embroider. However, I do not get the stitch and when I put in the pattern, it reverts to the start point for that pattern. Can anyone help me out. I bought the machine used and I don't have a local Janome dealer.

[@terryanderson5789]

Hi Christopher, I just found you and I am trying to figure out my Janome 9000. I have got the embroidery down so far but the letters it is only letting me do 5 letters in med size, I hope this makes sense? Also the quilting part I am not sure either please help. I bought this from my Mother in law but she doesn't rember. I have had it for 4 years and am just starting because I was unsure and worried I knock the timing out. Thank you

[@alreade8477]

Do you use embroidery thread for the Bobbin?

[@bobbinsew]

Not normally, you use a very fine 60 or 90 wt bobbin thread. If you want to do free standing lace however you will need to use the same colour top and bottom, and thread suppliers now make some of their embroidery threads in matching bobbin weight.

[@kmoeh9787]

Is there anyway you can buy designs now that you download and use it on the MC9000?

[@bobbinsew]

Hi, yes you can, please see my reply to Dani in the reply section.

[@carolc864]

I have the 8000 and my cloth setter is not like the one you have. So I'd say your setter is for 9000

[@Dani-gx3wt]

Do you know if I can embroider my own designs?

[@bobbinsew]

Yes you can, BUT, you need to get the Customiser 2000 software plus card reader package to use on your PC. Amazing designs also made a card reader for this machine. They can only be bought secondhand now so watch out for them on EBay etc. I download embroidery files from the websites that sell them in the .sew file format which this machine can read. I then use a package called Embrilliance to make any changes before using the Customiser software and card reader to put the design on the card for the machine. Sounds long winded but I can get a design from the web to the machine in just a couple minutes. Janome also made a scanner for this machine. Hope this helps!
