  8. When purchasing or downloading designs, what's the best format to choose when .jef is not available?
     
  9. I've created a layout in EasyGigahoop using designs from a CD-ROM. When I try to send it to the ATA PC Card attached to my computer, I get an error message about a missing file. Why does this happen?
     
  10. I was sending designs to my MC10000. A message came up that said something about damaged memory. Now what do I do?
     
  11. I want to get a laptop to use with my sewing software. What should I get?
     
  12. I sent a design to the 10000, but a message came up that said "Cannot be registered." What does that mean?
     
  13. I've heard that when you install both Customizer 10000 and Digitizer 10000, the EasyEdit icon can be lost. How can I prevent/fix this?
     
  14. I've stitched a design that came out just fine, except for the outlines. They don't line up, and there are gaps in some places. How can I fix/prevent this?
     
  15. What is the maximum number of stitches that a JEF design can have?
     
  16. I used EasyEdit to print a template for my design, and used the Clothsetter to hoop the fabric. When it stitched out, the design was off more than 1/4". Why did this happen?
     
  17. Sometimes when I turn on the machine, the screen has lost its contrast and is all washed out. I adjust it in the SET screen and it's fine for a while, but then I have to adjust it again. Is there something wrong with my machine?
     
  18. I used a CompactFlash reader/writer to put some designs in my ATA PC Card, but when I put the card in my machine, they don't show up. Why?
     
  19. What is the size of the stitch area in the various hoops?
     
  20. My machine warns me when the bobbin is getting low, but if it runs out sometimes it keeps on sewing. Is something broken?

  23. What maintenance is required for my machine?
