Upgrade your 11,000 to an 11,000se
by buying the upgrade v.2.0.

This will allow your 11,000 to do have new sewing stitches, 24 new quilting designs to quilt your quilt with stippling. You can even put the dimension of your quilt into the calcu-lator in the sewing machine and it will print out a template for perfect placement and a layout to re-hoop your quilt so you can quilt it entirely in the hoop. It comes with a hoop about the size of the B hoop and magnetic clamps so there is no top hoop. After putting on the v.2.0 onto your machine, you can also put the jump stitch upgrade on. this will allow you to set the length of the thread you want left when the machine auto-matically cuts the thread between letters and color change. Our newest version is v.3.0 which will allow you to use the free border designs and calcu-late how to place them on your borders evenly spaced. Also it comes with the square hoop and magnetic clamps and more free de-signs.
