MC 11000 - Sewing machine JANOME - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL MC 11000 JANOME

It's the biggest, most colorful screen we've ever made and the only one that moves. With the push of a button, you can move the screen up or down to find your best height and see every stitch in true color.

Robotic Precision

The Rolling Linear Motion Guide moves the embroidery hoop with an accuracy never before seen in the home embroidery market. We achieved this precision by using the same technology developed for industrial desktop robots.

Extra Wide Work Area

With the screen in the up position you get more than 9" (234mm) of wonderful working space to the right of the needle. This gives the Memory Craft 11000 the largest arm and bed space of any home embroidery machine.

Largest Square Embroidery Hoop

Square is the best shape for embroidery, and the Memory Craft 11000 has the largest square hoop on the market at 8^ × 8^ (200 x 200mm). There's also a standard hoop at 5^ × 4^ (126 x 110mm), plus two optional hoops: macro 8^ × 11^ (200 x 280mm) and free arm 2^ × 2^ (50 x 50mm).

Superior Data Transfer

Import and export designs via direct PC connection, ATA PC Card, USB memory device, optional USB CD drive (read only) or optional wireless StitchLink. PC Folder Tool allows you to access designs on your computer as if they were simply in another folder on your Memory Craft 11000.

Compact Size

We've increased the embroidery size without increasing the overall size of the machine. And the Memory Craft 11000 doesn't require a bulky embroidery attachment. Janome is the only company offering quick conversion from sewing to embroidery.

Time Saving Convenience Features

The Memory Craft 11000 is loaded with features to make your sewing faster and easier, like the programmable thread cutter, independent bobbin winding, automatic needle threader, and a knee lift.

Full Intensity Lighting System

Special, bright white LED lights illuminate your work from multiple angles. Even dark fabrics are easy to see. It's like shining a spotlight on your work exactly where you need it most.

Built-In Creativity

Choose from 307 built-in stitches and 122 built-in embroidery designs, including embroidered quilt designs. There are also built-in templates and a new series of 52 fully editable stitches, allowing you to create unique embroidery designs from decorative stitches.

Powerful On-Board Editing

Bring in designs from multiple sources. Cut, copy, paste, flip, rotate, rescale, zoom in and see your layout in 3D. Everything is in bright, true colors and the giant i-height™ screen makes it simple to drag and drop.

Janome Heritage

You get the quality and reliability that can only come from over one hundred years of making the top sewing machines in the industry.

Moveable i-height Screen

The only moveable screen in the industry

What could be better than the largest, high-resolution screen on an embroidery machine? How about one that adjusts to the height that's most comfortable for you?

The new i-height screen is the widest display available. At more than 712 when measured diagonally, it's the size of many portable DVD screens. But it will show you something even better than movies. With 640 × 480 full resolution, it displays designs with crystal clarity in up to 65,536 colors. That's accurate enough for vivid photo images. (And the Memory Craft 11000 lets you add your own photos as screenshots.)

Because you adjust the screen to the height that's best for you, you can find the optimal eyeline for viewing the screen. You avoid neck strain and can sew comfortably for hours.

When the screen is fully up, the Memory Craft 11000 has the largest work area of any embroidery machine, more than 9'' to the right of the needle. Move it all the way down and the included case top fits neatly over the machine. Any way you look at it, the i-height touch screen makes everything you sew and embroider something to see.

When the screen goes up, the show begins

A picture is worth a thousand words

Icons are great, if you can remember what they mean. Most of us prefer pictures and that's what the Memory

Craft 11000 uses for navigation keys: simple, recognizable pictures. You spend less time scratching your head and more time sewing.

Simple setup

To get ready for embroidery, press the lever to release the arm and swing it into place. The arm is extremely stable and you can embroider easily through multiple layers of fabric.

Extremely wide side-to-side

The Memory Craft 11000's embroidery mechanism takes full advantage of the machine's extra-large work space. It can move the hoop nearly 8'' from side-to-side, giving you the widest embroidery capability on the market.

Robotic Precision

The robots that assemble high tech electronic devices move with a quickness and precision that even the most skilled humans can't begin to match. Back in the 1990s, Janome pioneered the home embroidery

market with the revolutionary Memory Craft 8000. The X-Y movement of the Memory Craft 8000 became the impetus for Janome to develop desktop robots. The robots have now returned the favor.

Janome is the world's largest manufacturer of industrial desktop robots. Our knowledge and expertise was crucial in the utilization of a special carriage arm system called the Rolling Linear Motion Guide for moving the embroidery hoop on the Memory Craft 11000. Not only does it allow a much larger field of movement (and therefore much larger hoops), it also has a precision unmatched in any machine we've ever made. In fact, we believe it to be the most precise embroidery machine on the market today.

The elegance of this system lies in the fact that while being the most sophisticated on the market, it doesn't require you to attach a bulky embroidery mechanism to the end of your machine. You still have the built-in convenience of Janome's patented quick conversion from sewing to embroidery

Even larger back to front

The Rolling Linear Motion Guide allows the hoop to move more than

11" back to front. That's nearly the size of this page!

The Most Work Area Ever…

The Memory Craft 11000 may be the most compact of the leading embroidery machines, but it also has the most sewing, quilting and embroidery room—more than 9'' to the right of the needle when the screen is in the up position. That's sleek and efficient styling.

This extra room allows the Memory Craft 11000 to have the widest embroidery hoop on the market. And it's also great for those big quilting projects where you're pushing a lot of fabric past the needle.

The powerful motors and precise feeding system handle multiple layers of material. So go ahead and make a thick winter coat, a slipcover for the couch, or that king size quilt. The Memory Craft 11000 has the power and the room to handle it.

…In The Most Compact Size

In Embroidery Mode, the Memory Craft 11000 is just 18 12 '' (469 mm) across, making it the most compact of the leading embroidery machines. Competing models require bulky embroidery attachments that can add another half foot to the length of the machine. But not the Memory Craft 11000. The embroidery arm is built in. The design is just as functional in Sewing Mode. If your table space and sewing time are at a premium, the Memory Craft 11000 was made for you.

Jumping Through Hoops

The Memory Craft 11000's embroidery mechanism takes full advantage of the machine's extra-large work space. It can move the hoop nearly 8'' from side-to-side, giving you the widest embroidery capability on the market.

You can go way beyond square with the optional Macro Hoop. While taking full advantage of the machine's extra wide embroidery capacity, this monster hoop can handle designs that are more than 11" tall. And the Memory Craft 11000 has dozens of built-in designs created especially for this hoop.

Why It's Hip to be Square

We found that while embroidery hoops come in all kinds of shapes, the designs most embroiderers want to make are square. Quilters especially like square designs since quilt squares are, well, square. So we designed the Memory Craft 11000 to have 8'' of embroidery arm movement from side to side just so we could give you the largest embroidery field in a square. The 8'' square that is so common in quilting can now be embroidered in a single hooping. The machine also comes with a 5'' × 4'' hoop, perfect for many standard designs.

Free Flowing Data

If you love combining embroidery designs from lots of different sources, then the

Memory Craft 11000 will truly bring a new dimension to the way you work. You have more ways to bring in designs (and save them too): from ATA PC Cards, USB memory key, Janome PC Design Cards, the Memory Craft 11000's own optional CD-ROM drive, and of course, your computer, which opens up the whole world of designs from the Internet.

For the first time you can sit at your Memory Craft 11000 and access designs from your computer just like it's a folder on your sewing machine. And with the optional wireless StitchLink device, you can sit at your Memory Craft 11000 and access your computer at the other end of the house.

Two USB Ports

The Memory Craft 11000 has two USB ports. One of these will let you import and export designs from standard USB memory devices, such as memory keys, as well as import designs from the optional CD-ROM drive. The other USB slave port is for connecting to your computer with the included USB cable. This port also allows you to import and export designs via the optional wireless StitchLink unit.

Two Way USB Communication

Now you can sit at your PC and send and receive designs via Janome software. And you can also sit at your Memory Craft 11000 and access designs right off your computer's hard drive by using the simple PC Folder Tool software included with your standard accessories. Suddenly storage is no longer an issue.

ATA PC Cards & USB Memory Key

Bring in designs stored on an ATA PC Card by simply inserting it into the slot. In the same way, a USB memory key connects to one of the two USB ports.

122 Built-In Designs

Your machine comes loaded with plenty of designs to get you started. Choose from classic florals, holiday motifs, cute baby designs, and much more. There are even giant designs for the optional Macro Hoop.

Optional CD-ROM Drive

Bring in designs from commercially available CDs like Stitchitize™, which creates an entire library of designs available for sale exclusively at your authorized Janome dealer. The Memory Craft 11000 can even read CDs you've burned yourself.

PC Design Cards

Use the specially created designs from our PC Design Card library.

Simple, Precise Layout

After you've selected your hoop size, simply drag the individual embroidery designs into place with the handy, included stylus. Zoom in to make sure your designs are in exactly the right spot and use the arrow keys for fine adjustments.

Powerful Built-In Editing

Of course, because it's a Memory Craft and because Janome always packs power right into the machine, you don't need a computer to create sophisticated embroidery layouts on your Memory Craft 11000. The editing tools are so streamlined, you'll be ready to stitch out complete projects in minutes. The function keys are pictures of what they do, so you don't have to memorize a confusing set of icons. You see your design layout exactly as it will appear in the hoop. And then you have the option of zooming in for a close, closer, closest look or even seeing what your design will look like in three dimensions.

Easy On-Screen Manipulation

It's so easy to bring in designs, lettering, and decorative stitches to create embroidery layouts. Cut, copy, paste, flip rotate, rescale, and more. You see your designs displayed in whichever color you choose. The function keys are user-friendly pictures, so you always know what to do. The Memory Craft 11000's editing features are so easy to use, you'll be creating beautiful embroidery right out of the box.

The editing tools are everything an advanced user could want. But they're easy enough for a beginner to use right away. Start day dreaming. Because if you can think it up, you can quickly have it embroidered out.

Convenient Features To Speed Up Your Projects

From threading the needle at the beginning of your project to automatically cutting the thread when you're done, this machine has dozens of features designed to save you time and increase your sewing flexibility. The Start/Stop button allows you to sew without using the foot pedal. The independent bobbin winding motor lets you wind your next bobbin while you're sewing. The Knee Lift lets you raise the presser foot without taking your hands off your fabric. Sewing Applications gives you quick access to your favorite sewing functions. The innovative “Help Movies” show you exactly how to use those functions. In fact, there's simply not room on this page to describe all the time-saving, convenience-building features the Memory Craft 11000 offers.

For that, you need to test stitch a new Memory Craft 11000 for yourself at your authorized Janome Dealer. You need to enter the new dimension in sewing and embroidery!

It took well over a century to create this machine

The Memory Craft 11000 is an amazing machine. It should be, since we've been working towards it for more than 100 years. Almost two decades ago we launched the embroidery revolution with the Memory Craft 8000, and years before that we introduced the world's first programmable computerized home sewing machine.

Ever since we got our start around the time of Abraham Lincoln, we've been looking for ways to make sewing machines better. Today's Janome machines are faster, quieter, and easier to use than anything our founders could have imagined. But like them, we've never forgotten that above all our customers want reliable machines that make beautiful, precise stitches.

When you buy a Memory Craft 11000 from Janome you're getting all the advantages of our heritage. And that's something you can't get from any other brand. Janome machines stand the test of time.

1860

A.J. Clark and William Barker begin making their own reliable sewing machine with a long name: The New England Single Thread Hand Sewing Machine. Soon they are selling them faster than they can make them. The New Home Sewing Machine Company is born.

1877

William Grout joins the company and develops the smoothest running sewing machine they've ever produced. It's called the New Home.

Sewing with Janome can be habit forming

Meet 4 generations of Janome Tradition. Great Grandmother Rita Flanagan, Grandmother Dee Dadik, Mother Renee Hagan, Twin Daughters Claire and Emma Hagan – Janome sewers one and all. They know that when they sew with Janome, they're sewing with more than a century of heritage.
