It depends on what kind of fabric you embroider on the most and if you can afford another roll of cutaway. I mostly use the tearaway. Is the place you purchased the stabilizer close to you and is it worth the time and mileage to make the exchange.

After I sent that last message I thought "how dumb" - how could anyone else judge which I might use. And I thought it doesn't cost an arm and a leg so what's the big deal. I live a half hour from Joann's, where I bought it. I am currently going to physical therapy twice a week and have to pass Joann's every time I go - YEA!!!. I went today and stopped and got the cut away and kept the tear away - 40% off coupons for both. LOL Who knows when I might need one or the other.
I think I want to practice on a T-shirt - the reason I wanted to start with the cut away.
Thanks! Pa

I just order a 350E yesterday, and should have it in about a week. Already reading here has help a bunch. So much to learn and so little time, with everything else guess housework will be on the back burner.

Congratulations everyone with the new embroidery machines. Metro Threads website has great thread at good price. I like poly thread as it seems to be stronger than the rayon .Janomes use a class A bobbins not 15s .There is a special bobbin thread that is lighter weight you should use . Lots to learn. Good group to join is MC Embroidery on Yahoo.On small and odd shaped things use sticky back stabilizer hoop that & score the paper thats on top inside the hoop stick your fabric to that.I have a Janome 9700
love it.
Anne
love it.

I don't know what I am doing.....Just hope my net book keeps working till we move home in April so future sil or son teaches me what to do.
Sorry I am not much help to you.
I could right up my instructions for opening etc if that is any help.
Hoping someone with computer knowledge comes along and helps....
Or you could ask on the Janome forum.
