I have a Janome 11000 and love it. The embroidery is beautiful plus it is easy to use and instructions are very understandable. At my age I need 'easy'! Here is an example of how great it works.

I have the Janome 11000SE and it does a great job with embroidery. I bought the larger hoops and use the 5 x 7 a lot. also have a Janome MB4 and it is a great 4 thread embroidery machine. Love using it and it's easy - have a great dealer that has been a lot of help - even over the phone.

I have both the Babylock Ellure and the Babylock Ellegante. Love them both. I started out with the Ellure and then wanted to be able to embroidery bigger designs and bought the Ellegante. They're somewhat spendy, but great!

I have the Husqvarna Designer Diamond and love it.
I just finished today a Crazy Patch Quilt using the machine embroidery. It is small so will probably use it as a wall hanging. When I figure out how to post pictures I will post it on here.

I have been machine embroidering for many years, starting with the Janome MC9000(now gone)and then the Janome MC10000, which I still have. I have also since added the Brother PR620 and the Brother Innovis 6000D (Quattro). I love the ease of use of these machines and would not go past Janome or Brother brands. I am comtemplating swapping the MC1000 for the new Janome model once it is released later this year.
The one thing I stress to would be Embroidery machine owners is to remember that the price of the machine is the first money you spend. The on going costs can be never ending with purchasing threads, bobbin fill, stabalizers and embroidery designs. This is a very infectious disease!!! and as yet I have not heard of a cure.
This hobby is much like any other, always more to it than first meets the eye.

Good Luck.
