I love my 300e Janome. I had a Viking combo, but traded it in for a Janome 6500 for quilting and a 300e for embroidery. That 300e is a work horse. I can quilt as I embroider. She never gets jammed and is so easy to use. I download a ton of designs from the internet. I have embroidered quilts, have done towels, bookmarks are a gem to put into cards as a little surprise, adorable baby things, etc.

computer to machine- if you keep getting a message- I found out that my memory in the machine is full and I needed to move some from the machine back to my computer.

I have the Janome 300e and I love it. They are priced for 999.00 at our local Hancocks. I was lucky enough for my mom to give me this machine. I love everything about it, and it does beautiful stitches.

I have a Brother Innovis 4000D & love it. DH picked it out for me, it's pretty expensive but I do alot of embroidery for craft shows, gifts, etc. It is a regular sewing machine also. It will thread your needle for you at a push of a button & cut your thread. Love the scissors button. I also get alot of free designs off the internet, but you have to be careful as some don't stitch out really great.

I have a Janome 7700 but I wanted something that exclusively did embroidery. I opted for the Janome 350e because I can download to a thumb drive to embroider designs. From what I understand, the 300 is a little different to get the transfers. Anyway, that said, it has been worth the money and it was not much more than you were quoted on the 300e. I buy my designs from the internet for $1 - $2 usually (for a group) so I'm getting quite an extensive amount and not spending much for them.

Then I would go for the Janome 350. It does 5-5 or 5-7 and giga hoop. I love mine. joann11 :thumbup: :thumbup:

I thought I would chime in here, though I won't be much help. I did a lot of research on embroidery machines and was going to purchase the Janome 350e. Very nice machine and I have a Janome 6600, so I was comfortable with Janome. But after trying it out, and then moving "up the line" to all the other machines (I think I test drove at least a dozen machines), I ended up with a BabyLock Ellisimo. Very expensive, but I did get a very good "deal" on it. I absolutely LOVE, LOVE it, and I have never embroidered before. I have done embroidery on towels and placemats for my Mom's BD, on pillowcases for my ten year old son (who has also used the machine by himself, believe it or not!), and am now making a crazy quilt - all done in the hoop - for my daughter. I'm also doing a huge peacock wall hanging, on dupioni silk fabric, made in blocks, again all in the hoop. I've only had it two weeks and I work full time outside the home, but needless to say, I am determined to really use it!! Did I say I LOVE this machine?
