G'day Karen
I thought that upgrade was only via the dealer, but wasn't 100% sure
because my machine had already been upgraded when I bought it. Oddly
enough, the staff at the dealers told me at that time that Janome would
not be releasing another embroidery machine for many, many years....they
would continually release updates for the 10000! At the time I was
sceptical because I couldn't see a major company such as Janome, missing
out on all those $$$'s selling a new, upgraded machine. LOL
I seem to remember someone selling an upgrade CD on ebay.com than again
that was some time ago too. There must still be some available somewhere.
Another group that might be worth posting a 'wanted' ad is SewItsForSale.

Good luck
