Janome found a jewel when they enlisted Kimberly as a spokesperson. I have watched her for several years and have loved every project she has completed for us. Thank you Janome and especially thank you Kimberly!!
I got a M8 a few months ago. I’m learning more about the machine watching you than my back and forth in the manual. Love the bag, your detailed directions, and learning new things my machine can do and what all the feet are fore. Thanks!
As always your directions are perfectly clear and presented in such a nice conversational manner. I love my M8 and it's good to be reminded of some of the functions and feet that are best used for certain things. Thanks again for you being you.
Thanks for sharing this! I have some fabric from Japan and plan to make a bag … probably more than one! I love your machine .. probably not in my budget at this time, but I’ll add it to my wish list! ❤️ lol … do you make dinner after spending time with your Janome .. or does your camera man do that? 🧵
Great tutorial! Looks like I need to go fabric shopping… Will make a larger version for my knitting projects! I was very excited to watch a tutorial on how to make these Japanese rice bags, but got totally completely distracted by that incredible sewing machine! 😂 I have a Janome that is 30+ years old. I will definitely be looking on the Janome website for the price of that modern updated sewing machine. Love seeing your fur babies! 🥰 thank you for a great tutorial!
I’m curious. Is there a reason you decided to do sewn tabs, two per side, rather than the traditional method? (One tab per side, lengthwise)? That’s how I make mine, and the proportions seem more in scale with the size of the bag. It uses less fabric, no turning it inside out, takes less time. Loved some of your tips! It now I want a Janome.
what needle do you use for sewing on my janome 12000 on canvas for purses ,,also vinyl ,,thanks,, love watching your videos ,,if you have any other ideas for bag making i really appreciate that
Hi Judy, the Manual contains a fabric/needle/thread chart on page 16. For heavier weight fabrics, it's recommended to use a size #14 red tip needle or for more layers/thicker fabric a #16 needle. You may also use a Janome #14 Purple tip needle. We recommend testing your needle first a scrap of the fabric/layers you will be stitching.
The only thing I wouldn't do is stitch the end of the tube created for the draw string tabs because that one piece with the end seam has more bulk than the rest. You can still turn a tube of fabric right side out by using a safety pin in the seam. After sewing the sides of the tube (right sides together) start the inversion by pushing in part of the tube opposite the safety pin, then follow it with the safety pin in the seam, and pass it down the tube until the whole thing is right side out. Remove pin, and cut into sections. Remember, wider tabs will lessen the amount of open gaps in the bag when the draw strings are pulled tight, but not too big or you'll have an unwanted puckered extension instead of a closure.
This is the Extra Wide table that comes standard with the CM8. You can see another pic of it on the Janome website's CM8 product page - www.janome.com/machines/sewing/continental-m8/
@@JanomeJAI thank you, I have an M7, and have the extra wide table, which I love, I was wondering what table the machine is sitting on, sorry, could have been more clear on that!
Thanks for clarifying. Kimberly is using the Eddycrest cabinet, that can be viewed at this TH-cam link: th-cam.com/video/RG86j9pnWAM/w-d-xo.html For further information on this cabinet, please contact your authorized Janome dealer.
This is off topic but am I in trouble my Janome Horizen 7700 is showing a F 2 error I have done everything cleaned ,oiled checked needle plate shut it off then on and unplugged and plugged back in and it still shows an F2 error I’m in Ont Canada I’m at wits end trying to resolve the problem
Please refer to page 91 of Instruction Manual for directions on F2 error message: Turn the power off and remove tangled threads around the needle bar inside the face plate. If this does not resolve the error message, the machine needs to be serviced by a Janome dealer.
I hate to say this but sometimes the most simple solutions are the ones that correct the problem. I have had several different kinds of machines over many, many years, I have also used different machines outside of my home to do charity projects. I always follow a routine of checking the threading to make sure nothing is caught like the thread from the main spool, (including the spool itself where those nicks that secure the thread before it is bought that often catch thread as it is being drawn by the machine). Often thread can be the culprit if different types of thread are on the main spool and the bobbin. I check to make sure the bobbin is placed correctly and thread is engaged in the correct grooves as per the manual. I always check the bobbin housing for lint or dust and clean that regularly. Lastly, I check to see that I used the correct bobbin. I have had more problems with my machines when I used the wrong bobbin or the wrong one was provided with loaner machines. I have since gotten into the habit of labeling my bobbins, so right bobbin for the right machine. Just because bobbins look alike doesn't mean that they're the right one. As with any kind of equipment, use the right parts. Lastly when I couldn't discover the problem after going through the above routine I finally checked inside and under the machine and found trapped thread on the main turning mechanism there. I hope that helps. One last thing that happens is when we pull the thread through the needle to have more available before we start stitching, the thread will jump and loop on itself at the needle arm which we often don't notice. Those have been the major culprits in my life. So undo, and rethread. Sometimes we get so frustrated when our machines don't work. Take a break and recheck everything before you give up.
Awesome bag! Love it! Thanks for the great instructions.
We're glad you loved it!
Adorable little rice bag. 😊
It really is! :)

I used only one tab on each side, total of 4 not 8.
