The AcuSetter app allows you to adjust the position of designs using your iPad and Wireless LAN before embroidering. Even if the fabric shifts a little when it is inserted in the hoop, reinserting it isn't necessary. By taking a photo of the embroidery hoop with the fabric inserted in it, the design can be easily arranged while checking various fabric conditions (shifting of the fabric's position, fabric patterns, embroidery already sewn, cross lines etc.). AcuSetter is compatible with the following sewing machine models: 　Please check the following web page : 　https://www7.janome.co.jp/global/softupdate/acusetter/ Link with Sewing Machine ・After receiving embroidery designs from the sewing machine's Ready to Sew mode, you can arrange the position of the designs. ・By sending the arranged embroidery designs to the sewing machine , you can embroider wherever you want.

It has made my hooping and placement so much easier. Receive my design to my iPad, snap a pic of my hoop with my iPad, do a little adjusting on the screen, send it back to my machine and there it is, exactly in the right spot! Love, love this app!!! ### 5/5 — App works great! *2021-04-26, version 1.20* My iPad is v 14.4.2 and have no problems as have some reported. This app really helps to get precise positioning of embroidery designs, and is easy to use. ### 1/5 — Broken in iOS 12.1.4 *2019-03-20, version 1.20* Unfortunately this software is broken in the latest update to iOS for the iPad. You can take the initial picture but it does not advance to the next screens for fine tuning rendering this once great feature of the skyline S9 and Memory Craft 15000, completely useless. ### 5/5 — AcuSetter app *2018-08-05* Love this app. So easy to use. It’s my new best friend 😁 ### 1/5 — Mixed thoughts *2018-04-22, version 1.20* I have tried this app numerous times and am frustrated. I have had to repeatedly dump and reload it. I have found that the app freezes or won’t acknowledge my janome 15000. When it does take a picture it seldom displays the adjustment markers. I am glad that this app is free because it isn’t at this point worth the hassle. When it works properly it is awesome, but isn’t often enough. ### 5/5 — AcuStter *2017-05-17, version 1.10* I like this app as it makes it very easy to insure accurate placement after hooping. Love it! ### 5/5 — Accusetter *2016-09-12, version 1.10* Janome apps are great ### 5/5 — AcuSetter app review *2016-01-03, version 1.00* Wow! Best app Janome has developed to date! I just tried it on a particularly difficult to match line quilting design and it worked. I don't like using center points to match designs which is the standard for Janome. I prefer to be able to match end points. Pfaff has something like this in their machines but will have to say, this app is better and easier. Don't let the photograph of the hoop frighten you--I could hold my ipad steady enough to get an exact match. The app allows a calibration one you get the picture. Bravo Janome and their app developer! ## Frequently asked questions about AcuSetter ### What is AcuSetter used for?
