embroidery machines

G'day Ruth

Anyone who owns an embroidery machine will say the model they have is the best........lol!

For me that is Janome, for several reasons. Janome does 'not' have a separate embroidery module that is just as heavy and bulky as the machine itself, this will be a big consideration if you will be taking your machine to class or travelling, even storage at home. Secondly, I like the stitch quality and ease of use. I've had Janome machines for many years and currently own two embroidery/sewing machines. If you already own a sewing machine that you are happy with, then the 300E model which is embroidery only is a good option, because while it is doing embroidery you will still have your other machine to continue sewing on another project. Take it from someone who didn't think this was important and found out the expensive way....lol!

The new TOL Janome 11000 has just been released and although I haven't yet had a demo on it I expect it will be one fantastic machine with it's telescopic embroidery arm allowing you to do much larger designs.

Most model mach> Would like to buy an embroidery machine and would appreciate any information

The analogy I use at work (we sell a limited selection of sewing machines at Hancock) is that it's like guys and pickup trucks. Do NOT try to sell a Chevy to a Ford guy...no matter how good the Chevy, he wants a Ford. And most women are the same about sewing machines. I have a particular brand I like best, and I tell people up front I'm prejudiced. Just because that particular brand is the best we offer has NOTHING to do with it
