![]() ![]() The stitch patterns on Memory Craft 6000 are found on three pages: front page I which is always present right before your eyes, and two additional pages shown at the top – you can only have one open at a time because the stitch numbers on the top pages are the same. (Well, except may be for my PDA/phone, to write this blog, to print title pages for my patterns, to read manuals in PDF, to look up sewing-related things on the Internet, to… oh dear!) □ I just don’t want screens and computers in my sewing – they are already everywhere else! Sewing is my sanctuary, and computers are not invited. True, but that’s what you’ve got memory cells in your brain for – to remember things, and there’s also pen and paper for backup. To most people the lack of a more informative display is a clear disadvantage because it’s hard to see what you’ve got programmed in your stitch sequence. It just has a two-digit number display to show currently selected stitch, as well as a bunch of LEDs to show other selected bits. ![]() This is the last model of the Memory Craft line not to have an LCD display. I still can’t fix it if any of the components fail, but I trust 1986 hardware controls far more than 1986 computers. ![]() □ Made in 1986, it has fairly modern reliable electronics, but no fancy graphical parts and no sensor-driven automatic tension that always ends up wrong. But this one has a reputation of being relatively indestructible, so I made an exception. Janome’s Memory Craft 6000 is the only electronically controlled machine in my collection – I usually shun them as I cannot repair electronics. ![]()
