To wrap up Janome Institute, here are a few favorite pics from the floor......

Using the NEW Janome Memory Craft 15000

Paula is using the new Floriani Micro Thread.  Wow!  The thread is sooo fine.  She uses a SCHMETZ Universal 60/8.  The stitches are impeccable!

Wearing a Sandra Betzina Vogue Pattern. 

 

Yes, I was like a teenage girl laughing, yelling and totally amused by the Chippendale boys.  Yep, I made the top I am wore!

 

Thanks Janome for creating terrific machines and a strong dealer network.  I love your dealers and look forward to returning again in 3 years!

Janome Institute - Part II of III

Janome has such a wide breadth of machines.  Besides the Horizon Memory Craft 15000 top of the line . . . .

there are adorable starter machines.  I love "Hello Kitty".  What a great way to encourage a youngster to sew!

And look at these long arms..........

I could use one of these machines right now to finish a few quilt tops.

 

Janome Institute Before Dealers Arrive

This is just a partial view of the Janome exhibit - before the floor was crowded with Janome dealers. 
Stay tuned for one more post on Janome Institute.  I have a few terrific pics I want to share of vendors... and from a very special evening.

Janome Institute - Part I of III

Last month I represented SCHMETZ needles at Janome Institute in Las Vegas.  And wow what an event! 

As I approached the exhibit hall I saw this guy "fixing" the world.  Yes, Janome is an international sewing machine brand and dealers from around the world were in attendance to Janome's tri-annual meeting.   Couldn't help but wish the world's challenges could be fixed as easily as this guy preparing the global display.

The SCHMETZ booth was very easy . . .  and quick to set up.  My big news for needles is that SCHMETZ is color coding home sewing needles by needle type and size.  Hallelujah!  These new color coded needles will be available to consumers in early 2014.  Yahoo!  And of course as color coded needles become available, I will let you know.

Dealers from around the world gathered to get the latest news on Janome machines.  This is just the tail end of the crowd moving into the ballroom awaiting news on the newest machine............

The Janome Memory Craft 15000.  What a machine!  It connects with WIFI and iPad.  Really!  The touch screen was huge with crisp vibrant colors.  Huge workspace.  A new needle threader.  And the machine is fast, twice as fast as earlier models.  But mostly I loved the lighting.  The entire sewing project is illuminated on this machine.  Super cool!
