YES…….we are thrilled to announce that our Janome Horizon Quilt Maker MC15000 is now available in Canada at your local Janome MC15000 authorized dealer. You can always look at our Dealer locator (topright corner of www.janome.ca. This shows the Janome MC15000 logo next to the dealer listing so you know which dealers have been trained on this machine and can offer you the appropriate after sales support with lessons and expert advice about using your machine and software).
This Quilt Maker model of the Janome Horizon MC15000 is brand new and is waiting for you to start a great sewing, quilting and embroidery adventure! Please contact your authorized Janome dealer today to find out the full story.
You might like to check if one of our Janome Educators will be visiting your Janome dealer’s store this Fall to offer a Janome Launch party. We will be conducting these at select Janome stores across Canada starting from this week. All the new features and feet outlined below are included with the purchase of a new Janome Horizon Quilt Maker MC15000 together with a coupon to download the AcuDesign APP for free.
Already own a Janome Horizon Mc15000 version 1 or 2? No worries……you are entitled to a free update which must be done at your local Janome dealer. (Probably a wise idea to call ahead and book an appointment to have this done. These upgrade kits have started to arrive in Canada but stocks are limited so it is suggested you get your name on an update list with your dealer).
This update and upgrade involves the installation of the software update + an enhanced needle threader. Your P embroidery foot and foot holder for 9mm feet will be exchanged for 2 new feet so please remember to take these with you when you visit your dealer to have your machine updated. Your dealer will be unable to provide the new feet without taking the old ones from you. These will be discarded as should NOT be used after the update. This part of the update is free of charge.
Please note that you should NOT use the feet in this kit if your machine has not been updated to the latest version. Please use the new P embroidery foot or new foot folder in order for the new enhanced needle threader to work properly. In other words – please ensure you do the ENTIRE update and upgrade for optimum results.
In addition to this, existing Janome MC15000 owners are able to purchase the Quilting feet upgrade package shown above. And who wouldn’t wnat these feet you have all been asking for!? FIVE new feet + HP needle plate (the very same found on the MC9400 that is proving so popular!). These feet include the following: Ruler foot QR; Variable zig-zag foot QZ; 1/4 inch seam foot without the flange; Darning foot PD-H open toe; Professional foot HP; Professional grade needle plate HP.

The news is now well & truly out ……..visit your local Janome dealer today for more information and stay tuned to janomelife blog as we will be offering posts on new features such as more information of the NEW Quilting kit feet and AcuStitch tool in Horizon Link Suite (yes, this software also needs to be updated by your dealer so be sure to get that done too – This is also free).
I purchased my Janome 15000 last year but never installed the HLS. I had the machine updated at the dealer and received my link to HLS v. 1.31. Do I need to install HLS v. 1.20 before I install HLS v. 1.31?

Hi Pamela,
Absolutely, yes. You cannot update something that is not yet installed. So yes, please install HLS and then the update. WOW! you have SO much fun awaiting you with HLS. There is so much good stuff in it for you to use with your MC15000. Happy sewing and embroidery!

I had my 15000 updated but my Janome dealer is unable so far to get the information I need to update my Horizon Suite. Can that be resolved soon?

Jeanne–Go back to your dealer. They have to register your update for the 15000 and then an email will be sent to you with the Horizon Link suite update.

Hi Fena,
Please contact your Janome dealer for full details. Part of the update is free but the package of new Quilting feet is a purchase.

That’s the 5 new feet. Is there a labour cost for the needle threader installation.

Hi Tonya,
There is not supposed to be a charge for the needle threader, new P foot and foot holder. Dealers may offer a service together with this upgrade but only the service and package of feet are purchasable.

I have a question about the update for the HorizonLinkSuite Ver.1.31. That’s on our PCs so our dealer won’t be able to do an update for us. Do you have any more information on it? I don’t find this update on the Janome Global site. Thanks.

Hi Ceil,
Your dealer will indeed be equipped to deal with this for you. When you have contacted your dealer and had your update done to your current MC15000, your dealer will email you a link so that you can update your Horizon Link Suite software at home. It will not be posted online as the update consists of many parts which MUST all be done together so please contact your Janome dealer to ensure you do all the various parts of the update. The Horizon Link Suite update is only part of it.
