I'm very interested in getting an embroidery machine, and have pretty much settled on a Janome 350E ....price is my main concern and my question is does it enhance your quilting all that much or do you find that you do projects other than quilting that would justify having one? Five yrs ago I'd never guess I'm into quilting this much, ...five years from now with another machine, am I again going to be surprised?? and did you get classes from your provider????...lots of questions for me...H E L P....Love this board

Do I hear you! I'm on that same fence!!! I've been looking at them for months and can't figure out if I'll use it all that much. I have money put aside for one but I really don't want to spend more than a few hundred. I'm going to follow this.
Thanks for bringing it up!

After buying a BabyLock embroidery machine several years ago, I found that I enjoy doing handwork instead so I ended up using my embroidery machine for straight sewing. It does make great buttonholes, though.

I bought an embroidery machine on "accident" years ago, then when my original workhorse machine died, I pulled it out and am using it as my piecing machine.
Still haven't embroidered on it, but I've got grand plans! :lol:

I have the Janome 10001 emb. machine. Love, love, love it. I do regular pcing on it as well as emb. I have emb. shirts, pocketbooks, quilts and many other things. I have a smaller janome to take to quilt groups/classes. But the cost is not just in the machine. In all fairness you then need the extras to go with it. Stablaizer, emb thread, hoops and other things. Good Luck in whatever you choose, OH and your dealer is the most important thing as you will rely on him for info.
