Your Memory Craft 11000 can be upgraded to the Special Edition through a purchased upgrade kit. You can purchase this upgrade kit from your local Janome dealer. The kit contains an upgrade cd, the AcuFil™ Quilting Hoop and Template with Six magnet holders, and the AcuGuide™ automatic cloth guide. The upgrade kit will contain the software necessary to provide the new features available on the Memory Craft 11000 Special Edition, including Automatic Stippling in the Hoop, Enhanced Sewing Applications, Built-In Hand Look Quilting Stitches, 24 AcuFil Quilting Designs, and 24 3-part Embroidery Designs for Quilting.

Once you have purchased your upgrade, register it here to receive a FREE GIFT!

Please note a second paid upgrade is required to allow your machine to perform the new jump stitch function. Your local Janome dealer must install the jump stitch upgrade, as this requires the addition of new mechanical parts.  

To upgrade your machine, you need an ATA PC Card or USB Memory Key and a valid license key number (the license key is the 12 digit number on the outside of your upgrade CD).

1. Insert the upgrade CD into your computer. The program will launch automatically.
2. Follow installation instructions on the screen.
3. After installation is complete, find the MC11000 upgrade icon on your desktop, and open the program.
4. Follow the instructions for copying the upgrade to your portable media device.
5. Insert your portable media into the PC Card slot or USB Port of your Memory Craft 11000.
6. Press and hold the Lock Stitch Button and the Needle Up/Down Button on your Memory Craft 11000 and at the same time turn the power on.
7. Be sure to keep the buttons pressed for at least 3 seconds until the LCD screen shows a pale blue background.
8. A color bar will appear on the LCD screen and the upgrading process will automatically start.
9. The LCD screen will turn blue when the upgrade process is completed.
