The new Horizon Quilt Maker 15000 comes with  very powerful computer software called HORIZON LINK SUITE  V1.30. This software  communicates with the machine with its different tabs:

1. EmbLinkTool: allows to edit embroidery patterns, make compositions or operate the MC15000 by remote control
2. PatternComboTool: allows you to create decorative stitch combinations
3. AcuFilTool : allows you to create or edit quilting / quilting patterns
4. StitchComposer: allows you to create decorative stitches
5. ScreenSaverTool: allows you to transfer five photos for the screen of the MC15000
6. MC15000 Help Movie: allows you to watch short help videos on the screen
7. Jsmc862Installer : Quickly install the USB driver for the MC15000

All these functions were already part of version 2 of the  Janome Horizon MC15000 but now there is an update with the Acustitch tool.

ACUSTITCHTOOL:  This function allows you to use a decorative stitch from the sewing side of the machine and creates it as an embroidery design in either a linear or circular pattern.

In this three-page newsletter published by Janome Tokyo, you will find more detailed information about the new  ‘AcuStitch Tool’ feature.

There are now two ways to create circles with decorative stitches:

• By sewing with the optional circular attachment

• Embroidering with the AcuStitch Tool function

Visit your local authorized Janome dealer to view the new Horizon Quilt Maker 15000 Craft Memory, and to get a demonstration of the new ‘AcuStitch Tool’ feature.
