I'll post photos of the complete set with reversible bedspread when I get it all finished. Let me know how your project is progressing. Sincerely, Peg

At 3:11pm on March 8, 2010, nancy rinas said…: Hi Ann...There are no clubs in my area where I am now. Is the workbook you speak of, the one that comes with the machine? I know I should just sit down and try to master this machine but between looking after my sick husband and home/yard etc. and still sew everything i want to, there doesnt seem to be enough time. Its the embroidery part of the machine that scares me!..Nancy

At 1:10am on March 8, 2010, Ann said…: Hi Nancy

My machine was a 10000 and upgraded to 1001. I just love my machine and it meets more than I could ask of it. I joined the local Janome club and we spent last year just getting to know our machines. We didn't look at the embroidery side of the machine as I think most of us were comfortable with that and besides the club is for all Janome machines.

If you don't have anything like that in your local area, there is a workbook for the 1001 and I believe it's pretty good.

Hope that helps and I hope you get as much enjoyment from your machine as I have,
