Easy to do by more expense. I out grew the 5 by 7 and went bigger, I love the embroidery machines!

I have a Brother PI700 - I hate it, I got a Janome 200E and love it, upgrated to a Bernina 440EQ and LOVE it for both embriodery and quilting. The Janome was givein to my neice and she loves it.

You can get a used Janome 350E on ebay or contact www.kenssewingcenter to see if they have any trade-ins. I have found them to be reliable and honest. Since the new Janome 12000 was just released, it may be there are some great trade-ins available.
