Question about Janome 6500 Lettering
Miss Fairchild   Advanced USA Member since 8/24/02 Posts: 7003	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 11/24/12 8:34 AM I just got Big Bertha back from the shop--$83 for her snit about the buttonholes. I noticed that the lettering, especially the script is really strange; like before when I sent her in (which tells me this is inherent to the machine) When I start the script lettering, upper case, then go to lower case, there is a large gap between the two letters. Is this the same on your machine? It doesn't happen with any other lettering; just the script. Maybe it's just for monogramming, and if so, why are there lower case letters? ------ "We don't impose our rhythm on Nature. The key is to respect and live within Her."

You'd think with all the money Janome makes off these machines, they'd get it right... ------ "We don't impose our rhythm on Nature. The key is to respect and live within Her."

You might be able to play with those a bit to reduce the gap without shifting the fabric around.

Haven't done any lettering on it in quite some time but it does ring a bell. ------ Linda Bernina 830LE Bernina B530 Janome 6600P Pfaff 1209 Babylock Evolution Janome 644D

One of them, I believe 68, has a very narrow width in the box. Never knew what they were. Thank you! ------ "We don't impose our rhythm on Nature. The key is to respect and live within Her."
