One thing I like about your videos is that you use a lower end machine for many things. Even though I own top of line machines, I appreciate the fact that many people don't have them and you really help to inspire them! Very cute "Lemon"!
I try really hard to make these videos as inclusive as possible. I had my first Janome (a basic 20 stitch model) for 30 years before I got a much fancier one and I loved that machine just as much! Xx
@@janomestitchclubuk I worked in a Janome dealership for many years and was always so fortunate to be able to have the best high end models. But also being an in house teacher there we have to appreciate everyone and teach them to love and get the most from their investment. That’s exactly what you do as well!
I’m so glad I found you on UTube, I too bought this attachment for my Atelier 7 last year and have put off finding how to use it. You have explained the process brilliantly! Thank you
Thank you so much for this - I bought this attachment ages ago and haven’t used it yet. Clear instructions, have saved this video and will watch all your previous ones. Have subscribed so wont miss them now! (And so brilliant to have a UK educator🏴❤️)
Thank you so much> I've had my circular attachment for a little while and just fitted it and then looked at it!!! Now I'll get a bit braver and have a go at making this small project which I'm sure, inspire me to try more adventurous things, especially quilting with it!! Thanks once again, always look forward to your videos.
A layer of PUL fabric will prevent wet surfaces from weeping glasses. I’m recovering from surgery on my hand, so I’m supposed to be gentle. I just discovered your channel (and I’ve ordered the circle thingy) and it’s amazing. Thank you for including those across the sea. Janome USA doesn’t compare.
This is the second video of yours that I have watched and I just love that you have several little 'oops' moments just like all we sewists have. Some presenters on sewing blogs I think edit all the oopses out so everything turns out perfect and then when we make mistakes we wonder why we are having trouble and she didn't. I used my circular attachment when I was using my 9000 and found tha that any decorative stitch that had lots of backward stitches ended up making an oval. I couldn't get it to make a clean circle. I haven't got the circular attachment yet for my S9 but I have been contemplating it for awhile (they are expensive and we are on a fixed retirement income). I have bad arthritis and anything that I can use to make things in the easist way possible is great for me. My favorite thing about the S9 is the presser foot up/down button on the front of the machine. Before that my shoulder would be aching so bad, I could only sew for 15 minutes at a time. I'm up to around an hour now!!! I don't drink so Time for Gin was an odd one for me, but seeing this process was educational and on my machine at that, No need to see someone making something with say a Bernina and needing to figure out how to do it on my S9. Thank you again. Very clear instructions.
Hiya you could try raising the presser foot pressure (check in your instruction book) so it can glide better. I have plenty of Oops moments in my sewing room I couldn't possibly edit them all out🤣🤣🤣
@@janomestitchclubuk I got a circular sttachment for my S9 and I like it so much better than the one or my 9000. I did have to hold that little srew with tweezers as I couldn't hold the screw and turn it at the same time. Bad arthritis in my hands and I have to fight with them at times.
I enjoyed this so much! I love how you think and work! Does this attachment fit a 15000 machine! I have been making a lot of mugrugs for Thanksgiving. I wish I had seen this earlier! But, it’s just in time for Christmas!
Yes it does just make sure you get the right shaped one (the one I'm using). I love making little stuff like mug rugs and coasters for gifts..perfect chance to use up some scraps! Xx
I use the circle maker quite a lot, what I don’t like is that the bit to keep it in the right place moves too easily, you have to keep checking it. 27:0627:06
Hi, I'm new to your classes. I have watched another of your videos and you were using a paper stitch chart. Is there a way to print off these stitch charts. I would like to make a note book of the different stitches and the separate paper sheets would be very helpful to look back on. Thank you in advance.
Hiya! Some models have the stitch charts un the back of the instruction manual. Those that don't I have taken a picture of the lid/stitch card and scanned it in to my computer so I can enlarge it etc. It's really worth while stitching them all out...it gives you a much better idea of what the stitches can be used for xx
Loved making this, following you step by step. Being relatively new to patchwork and appliqué, can I ask how you attached the batting. Did you just use 505 or was the binding enough to hold it in place. It’s so nice to have a UK educator who is not sending us off to an American store. I shall follow you closely.
No 505 in my sewing room...I'm old school so it's pins or thread basting usually. With these smaller projects though often there's no need and the clips will hold it together well enough. Glad you enjoyed the project 😀
Yes it will I have done it around the lemon.You may need to adjust the size (width) according to the size of the circle.For example it might not work as nicely on a very small circle as the lettering might end up too close but you could add in larger spaces in between which would help. X
Thank you so much for this. I have the foot but have never used it. Wondering how to get decorative stitches to match the pattern when going in a circle. Is it possible to do this?
To be honest it would involve measuring one stitch and dividing the circumference up...way to much math for my brain so I usually slow up as I'm coming to the end so I can see if I can fit another whole one in and sometimes take the stitch length down to shorten it to fit in if that makes sense. It also helps to start and finish in different places if doing several rounds so the eye isn't drawn. Hope that helps! Xx
Hi Julia -very much enjoyed your TH-cam video - i live close to Stockport and have an atelier 5. Do you do any courses either group or 1:1 sessions?? Janome at Stockport said no after Covid but just wondering if you do any - be pleased to hear from you - thanks

You'll have so much fun! Happy Stitching! 😊
Here's a suggestion for your clear bobbin plate...I put a small bit of colourful washing tape on it as it helps me to find it😉
Great idea 💡 thank you😁
So happy I found you I have a Janome just purchased hopefully cwith your tutorials I can learn more about it thank you.
That's exciting! Enjoy getting to know your new baby!😁
Thank you. Nice clear and concise directions! AND you obviously edited your video too.!!!
Thank you! Don't think Hollywood will be calling me up any time soon but I do try😁

Hopefully you'll be circling like mad soon! Welcome to the club! Xx
@@janomestitchclubuk Thanks so much! 💕
Hello from USA!!! Love all your samples of what to do with the circle attachment!
Hello April! Thank you glad you enjoyed it! xx

Definitely start small and work your way up! Xx

That was a fantastic tutorial😊
Thank you! Hope it's got your creative juices flowing😁
😊😊😊 love your idia , hi from Canberra Australia
Thank you! 😊
I love my Janome Horizon. Hope I can use this one or one that will work.
There are 3 so just double check it's the right one to fit your plate. Xx
thank you for the information, I've had the circular foot for some time but have been reluctant to use it. Thanks Thanks Thanks
You're welcome! It's such fun and I'm sure once you get going you'll find lots of things it will work for! Xx
Very nice well done demo. Thank you.
Glad you liked it! X
Looks really good fun. Thanks for the video!
You're welcome x
Really great tutorial. Thank you very much 👏
You're welcome 😊
Merci pour vos videos
I love watching your monthly videos- I have learned so much! Thank you for the inspiration!
You're certainly welcome glad you're enjoying them! Xx

Ooh good... enjoy!!!

What is the largest circle size available on the device? Thanks for the excellent visuals.
Just measured it ..about 6" ti the centre of the circle so 12" across xx
Hiya just measured it at 6" so that's the radius to the centre so 12" across if that makes sense xx
Hi Julia
Love all of your tutorials
I’ve learnt so much from you
Just wondering do you do workshops as well
That I could go in person ?
Hiya😁 glad you're enjoying them. I am based in Somerset but I also do Zoom workshops, maybe check out my Facebook Sewing Box Somerset xx
Oh brilliant
Will do
Thank you so much

@@janomestitchclubuk thank you for such a prompt reply. Your videos are great. Look forward to making more things. I’ve even cleaned the machine !
Will this work stitching letters ? Round the circumfrence ? Or will machine lettering be off, wonky ?
