YES, these 3 lovely maple leaf designs are now available for download from our http://www.janome.ca website. Our Janome dealers across Canada have had these designs for a while in order to make samples and to make plans for their customers for our Canada 150 celebrations. Some of you may already have obtained the designs from one of our dealers, but in case you did not, please go to this link to download them now: http://janome.ca/projects/tamara_kate/dwnld.html
As a reminder, these designs were digitized for us by Janome Canada Educator, Yvonne Menear as part of our Canada 150 celebrations and with the launch of our Janome Canada 150 special Edition machine model:
Isn’t this machine just pretty and perfect for commemorating Canada’s 150th AND sewing at the same time??
Please note that there are THREE separate designs as pictured in our Canada 150 banner pic above: One outline design and 2 with different stitch types or stitch fills: string leaf and textured fill. Please feel free to download these and use with our compliments as part of your Canada 150 celebrations.
Obviously you are welcome to resize the designs although we cannot guarantee any results after 3rd party editing. The size in which they are are offered looks pretty good to us and fits within the SQ14 hoop on the Janome MC15000 (or MC12000). These designs may also be stitched out on our various Elna embroidery machine models as well as the Skyline S9 and Janome 500E; 450E and 400E.

Spoke with you at Quilt Canada and purchased the Aqufil software for my Janome 500E embroidery machine. Is there a place to learn about the program. Having difficulty understanding what to do with it.

Hi Kim,
There is a good deal of information on how to use the Acufil Quilting kit on this blog. Please search for Acufil quilting in the search box on the blog home page. Some may not specifically say 500E and the hoop size may be a little different, but the concept is the same. There are probably dozens of posts on Acufil quilting on janomelife.
Your local Janome dealer should also be the one to offer you lessons and support. Please visit them to obtain support.
And there is also a considerable amount of information online in terms of video’s, webinars and more. Please google search online for these sources. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=janome+america+acifil+quilting
OR you could start with http://www.janome.com > LEARN TAB > WEBINARS where you will see many options for your viewing enlightenment > acufil on this link:http://www.janome.com/siteassets/learn/webinars/acufiltips.pdf
and search acufil quilting on http://www.janome.com and you will find LOADS of information: http://www.janome.com/en/search/?q=acufil%20quilting this is just page 1 or 4 on this link. and it inlcudes a 6 part video series on Acufil quilting.
I’m confident this will get you going! And just jump right in and experiment and practice. There is no subsititute for that.
