Well I took the plunge!!! Bought my Janome MC350e today and I am sooooo excited! I forgot to ask if I will be able to do machine embroidered applique??? Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks.....now heading back to your blog! :-)
Deborah Ring I have done a couple of quilts from the Craftsy class by Eileen Roche & her book is great. Not sure if that's the technique you mean but the quilting is done by the machine onto appliqued pieces. If you have a the JEF file with the embroidery to fit the applique it should work just fine. Patsy Thompson does some incredible work & I'm hoping she does another Craftsy class to share her expertise. (I'm not there yet to create my own JEF file but would love to learn!) CONGRATULATIONS on your new machine! Have fun! I loved my arc of roses so much I'm going to do something else today!!! Enjoy! (and please keep me posted on what you create.) - Angie
Thanks for posting...I'm looking to replace my Brother Duetta sewing/embroidery machine and was looking at just getting a embroidery machine and this is the one the dealer suggested...the only thing is I have lots of embroidery patterns that require bigger hoops...but I really like the idea of just getting a embroidery machine this time around...
Thank you for this video. I got gifted a older version and just got it back from getting serviced. Is there any certain type of thread that needs used?? Or a place to learn about thread? I am having issues with bees nest or breaking thread.
Congratulations on your new machine!! That’s exciting! I buy my threads at Marathon Threads Canada and you can Google them (or other sources) to read about advice and types of thread. I also took an online class (well, several) from Craftsy to learn how to embroider. The owners manual is another great starting place as well as the dealer who serviced your machine. Books are also a great resource too. If you don’t want to invest in a new book you can check the library but sometimes those can be outdated. Experimentation is also a great way to learn and practice without pressure of an actual project. Thread nests are a result of tension issues or the incorrect needle and thread combo. Your thread may be too thick and your tension too tight. The stabilization products you use are also important for success and a nice result. I would suggest going slowly, learn as much as you can, and practice and tinker to find what works best for you. Good luck and have fun!
Hi Cindy! The easiest way to use this for quilting is to embroider your blocks before assembling and quilting to avoid the underside of the thread. It is great for labels and personalizing quilted gifts too. I made a cover for my Sweet 16 with "her" name on it. I hope you can locate that on my blog. It's a lot of fun but I haven't used it since last year when I embroidered monograms on matching Christmas stockings. We have a new family member so I need to do another!! Scroll way down o the right side of the blog to the category list and select Embroidery or use the search bar at the top. Thank you for watching!
I made the mistake of buying a very expensive Janome embroidery machine. I've sold it and this looks like a much better choice for me. Thank you so much!
Diana Huston I knew I didn’t need anything too complicated as a hobby user and this makes cute designs and is simple to use. I hope it’s still a available as it’s been a few years but maybe pre-loved!?!
@@dailycharmaddict It's still available :-) I never would have bought the 15000 except that I wasn't sure what to get and I was blindsided by high pressure sales pitch. Never AGAIN!!!
Diana Huston oh nooo! That’s so disappointing. I did a lot of research and lucky to have excellent dealer who I trust. Life has been in the way of my crafting for the last 4 years but I know I will get back to it and (hope) my machines will be waiting for me! I’ll have to relearn but I’m sure it will come back to me. Have fun and I hope you find the right fit! Keep me posted if you think about it!
@@dailycharmaddict you won't forget. it will come back to you. Some reviewers were upset with the flash drive and software, do you have any thoughts on this? I will want to use the software.
Diana Huston to be honest, I found the whole thing pretty easy but had nothing to compare it to. I would upload embroidery files for projects from other sources (like {formerly} Craftsy classes) and did use the included designs for fun embellishments on my own creations (like a cover for my sit down mid-arm). Later I purchased advanced stand alone software (Embird) to manipulate designs etc. but it was expensive and quite advanced for me so I really only used the basic features (rotate, size, etc.). I’m sure things have changed so much with iPads and wireless and other technology but of course I haven’t worked with it all in 4 years and haven’t kept up. For what I’d probably ever do (not selling stuff or working for others), the stand alone features are perfectly adequate! Hope that helps!
Oh, that IS exciting! I remember being so pumped to get mine and a little nervous too. Just take your time getting to know the machine (it is not complicated at all and less to worry about than a regular sewing machine) and dive in with lots of test pieces so you can see how it works and how to adjust threads, etc. Try hooping different ways and experiment. You'll have a blast and it's so fun to start making projects. I review several classes, books, and creations on my blog if you're interested and there is a lot of information on the web for free. Have fun!
arrived yesterday(Thursday) shortly after I commented,, it seemed complicated, and a little fiddly to set hoops tightly, but I learned to sew on a machine 55 years ago, and I remember how nervous i was, and within a week had more or less mastered it (does anyone ever truly master sewing)..I am delighted with it and have done a small monogram just to practise and it surprised me how easy and quick it was. new great grandchild due soon so am practising on making monogram bibs..lol
Awesome! And lucky grandbaby - congrats! It's very mesmerizing watching (and listening) to the machine stitch away. I'm sure you'll find all kinds of stuff to embroider!
Thank you for your tutorial, i was wondering how do i go about embroidering out a verse off about 3 to 4 words across and about 4 lines down on this machine. im very new to embroidery I have only just bought my first machine so any tips would be greatly received thankyou
Hi, and thank you for watching and commenting. To be honest with you, it has been a while since I embroidered (about a year). I highly recommend checking out the tutorials on-line and there are some excellent classes available (through Craftsy, for example). As I use the machine, following the directions in the manual, I have been able to embroider names, and simple designs. I have not tried multiple lines. I assume you can type them into the screen using the alphabet and adjusting the size and spacing so your 4 words/4 lines fit. Depending on what item you are going to embroider, you could stabilize the piece accordingly with stabilizer and then within the hoop. Often I find it easier to create a smaller applique label or patch and then affix that to the actual item. Then if there are problems it is much easier to start again rather than rip from you item! I'm sorry I can't be of more help but perhaps this gives you some ideas to try! I am self-taught and always feel experimentation and following the manual, plus some research on tutorials (even if not using the exact same machine) help tremendously! Good luck!
I would recommend contacting the Janome dealer in your area or checking out the online craft classes at Craftsy. They helped so much and there are classes that cover EVERYTHING you need to learn to use the embroidery machine. They are excellent and that is how I learned! Thanks for watching and have fun!!! Some classes are free! www.craftsy.com/class/machine-embroidered-classics/ Hope that helps!
GREAT tutorial!!! I am shopping around for an embroidery machine and was so happy to find your video....answered many questions. I am a Janome fan!! I was wondering if the machine has a feature where if the thread breaks it has a last stitch recall feature?? Thanks so much! Loved the items you made too!
Deborah Ring So glad you enjoyed the video. I JUST took a new piece off my machine - an arc of roses, which is a built-in design, plus a name using the fonts. It turned out beautifully. I'll have it up on my blog next week so check it out! There is a stitch counter and you can use the arrows to go back to the stitch before the thread broke. I've never had it happen though! It's been a great machine for me and I am definitely a Janome girl! Thanks for watching.
Sorry for the delay in reply. My manual does not mention any other cleaning other than clearing lint from the bobbin area with a brush. It does not mention oiling ANY part of the machine. Hope that helps!
I have a Janome 350e and have discovered I have to purchase software to further what I would like to do. I noticed you mentioned using a flashdrive and that it would transfer the picture onto the machine. Do I need the software to do this???
I will look into this and get back to you. I would assume so, if it's your own design, but not 100% sure. It has been a while since I embroidered so I need to check the manual!
I'm so sorry for the delay in reply. Yes! You can save a file to a USB memory stick. When you press the SAVE FILE key the dialog box will open. You can select the location. Option 4 is USB memory key and there is a memory stick icon. Select your desired folder and press ok. Hope that helps!!!!
this will be my choice if my Designer 1 ever dies... seems a lot for the money and we both know Janome is super..check out stitches in motion for some fabulous software at very affordable pricing... my new computer would not read my Hus customizing and this did the trick for a fraction of the cost..
You can't "select" different stitches but the machine is capable of stitching them if it's part of the design. I'm not sure about the stem and bullion but I know there are some included designs that resemble cross stitches. On my blog if you search Sweet 16 Dust Cover you will see an example of a cross stich-like arc of roses. Hope that helps. You can also try downloading a copy of the manual to see what's included. www.overthekitchencounter.com/over_the_kitchen_counter_/2015/04/sweet-16-dust-cover-part-3.html
Awww, nope! Sorry. I would suggest checking your local sewing store or if you prefer online, Craftsy is amazing and has incredible embroidery classes. Thank you
Hi: I enjoyed your video. I'm the new owner of the same machine, however, I've had trouble getting lessons from the dealer. So, it's a 'teach yourself' thing. I hope you can shed some knowledge on how to download a design from the internet onto a USB stick. I've done some designs, but had a horrendous time figuring out where they would appear on the fabric. I'm going to look into getting a clothsetter. Thanks for the tip. Hoping to hear from you regarding the download question! Thanks for your video & hope you can help! Phyllis
Jolene Jackson Hi Jolene! So...if you have purchased a JEF embroidery file from somewhere you can simply transfer it from your computer to a stick/flash drive and then plug it into your 350 and access the file using that choice on the on-board screen of the 350. If you want to manipulate the design file in any way, or combine designs for example, you may want to have some software for that purpose. I chose Embird and within that software I purchased some extra 'stylized' alphabets, simply for variety. With that software you can create words or sentences to stitch out (e.g. a quilt label). You do not NEED to buy extra software to use your machine but it adds an extra element of customizability and creativity if that is something you are looking for. TBH, I use Embird mostly to 'see' what the design will look like and print out a template on vellum for accurate placement. I don't really use it much for designing or embellishment. I have used some purchased fonts for labels. I believe there are some free versions of Embird to try as well as some other brands. With Embird, you only purchase the components you need so it was not too expensive (maybe $150 ish ???). I would play and experiment with what is on-board the machine already and get comfortable. There are 3 sizes of monograms, different styles and upper and lower case. There is a lot to work with without adding software. Play and have fun and then decide if you need something more depending on what you intend to do. Hope that helps! :)
I purchased this machine about 3 yrs ago used. I have played around with it some and have made some things with it, mostly using the fonts. I only just recently learned about there being software and digitizing ability that our machine can do. What software do you recommend? You mention embryo or something like that for $150. Is that the software name and is it both PC and Mac compatible? Thank you. I am just now beginning to watch these tubes and finding out so much more about my machine that will make using it easier for me. Theresa
Hi Theresa! Glad you are playing around with your machine a bit. I did embroider some stockings last Christmas and they turned out very well! I haven't used the software in years, and even when I quilted more often (and added embroidery), I didn't digitize much. I'm sure things have changed so much! The software I purchased at the time is called Embird. Hope that helps a bit but I really do not use it much :(
Matt Saltzer it can...with limitations. You can only pre-program a certain amount of characters (can't recall how many and am not near manual. I will check and reply again). You are further limited depending on which font you choose (I think there are 3) and size (also 3). I'll double che k all this when I go to my studio and get back to you. It's an at-home machine, is fairly basic, and you probably wouldn't want this for any commercial sentence/phrase embroidery. Hope that helps
Hi there, I realise that this is an old post and you may not have this machine anymore, but wanted to ask if you could explain how you used the giga hoop? Were you able to do all the design on the machine without any software program on a computer? Thanks, Tina.
Hi Tina! I do in fact still have this machine! However, I haven't used it in a while. The giga hoop works by splitting the design into two parts. The first half is stitched, the hoop is shifted and then the second half is stitched. Tbh I have only used it once and I used a file on a purchased Janome cd (a dog and cat design). No other software was required since the cs files were made exactly for this process. If you'd like to read more about it and see my stitched design (which I made into a pillow, still use, and is very cute!) you can read my blog post here: www.overthekitchencounter.com/over_the_kitchen_counter_/2013/04/lets-be-friends-giga-hoop-embroidery.html if that doesn't work, go to overthekitchencounter.com and search giga hoop in the search box and scroll down to find the post. Hope that helps a little bit; I loved watching the machine stitch and the results are beautiful! I hope my life circumstances allow me to get back to it one day soon! Take care, good luck, and have fun!! Thank you for watching and commenting! - Angie
I have this machine and it's a great beginner machine that can go for a long time before you are ready to go to the next level. I'm sorry to say that I could barely hear this audio and also when talking about a certain technique or button it would have been nice to see where that button was located! Some of us like to see everything!! You talked about a larger hoop but it seems like there is a learning curve to moving the fabric around. would love to have a video lesson on making more continuous designs! Good video overall though. Thank you
Hi! So sorry you couldn't hear the video well. I found going through the manual & playing with the machine as I did, to be helpful in learning what it could do & what buttons do what. I did a lot of experimentation & practice stitch outs. The Giga hoop stitches one half of the design & then you simply turn it around for the second half. You can search my blog for the post(s) about the machine & hoop/projects for more detailed info. I have not used the machine as much as I would like as quilting takes up the majority of my time - but it is fun when I do! Good luck with your machine! Thanks for taking the time to comment too!
rm2381 it comes with both (in slightly larger sizes than that). You can also get a giga hoop for even larger designs by doing half and then rotating the hoop. But the 5x7 hoop is the largest it comes with and I find that very versatile and large enough for my use. It's a great machine.
@@reshmaamadhu2898 hmmm, there is a larger hoop but you have to turn it half way through the pattern. You could try to line it up but I think it would be tricky; I haven’t used it in that way. 🙁 I’m sorry I can’t be of more help. Might be cheaper and easier to go to a professional for a one-time project
Hi! I recently got a used Janome Memory Craft 300E and I have a question hopefully someone here can answer. When I turn the machine on, the words "Bobbin winding" comes up on the screen (along with a large picture of a bobbin). It stays there no matter what I do and no other functions are available. What am I doing wrong? I've been troubleshooting for several hours now and I'm starting to feel hopeless. Thank you, Sherry
hmm, that sounds glitchy. I would recommend find an authorized Janome dealer for service. I'm sorry that happened to you because they are really great machines. Hopefully it's a simple reset. Good luck!
I know it’s a year late lol but I had the same thing when I got mine and when I pushed the bobbin winding spindle on the top back over ...it went away. It no longer considered it was winding a bobbin!
Hi there! Thanks for the review. Can you embroider something thick like a teddy bear? I know nothing about these machines but I've quickly become very interested. Thanks in advance!
Hi. Sorry I never got notified about your comment! With an at-home embroidery machine such as this you are only limited by what will fit in the hoops you have and what will fit under the needle. If you can hoop the fabric (or fur, in your case) you should be able to embroider it but I would definitely suggest doing test swatches first. I know that when embroidering loopy, dense towels/terry it is necessary to use the correct stabilizer and topping (so that the nap is not crushed and also the stitches are not 'lost' in the depth of the texture. I haven't embroidered on fur myself but if it is possible, perhaps trimming the area to be embroidered AND using a topping layer, might help. You would definitely have to research that more if you are focusing on teddy bear material. Good luck! Thanks for watching...
I am in Canada so I don't know what the cost would be in US dollars. I bought my machine years ago and it was over $1000. It is best to contact a Janome dealer in your area to discuss prices. They can often offer good deals and or trade-in allowances, free accessories, and excellent service. Good luck!
Could you tell me how to upload new fonts to the 350E? I've uploaded some new fonts in JEF but the machine doesn't recognize it. It recognizes the new images though.
Lynn Petersen Hmm, I have purchased fonts in Embird & then used a USB stick to transfer the design. Are u sure your new fonts were put in the My Designs folder on your stick?
***** Yes, they were under MY DESIGNS but they don't show up. Should they be in JEF form? That's what I uploaded in JEF form. When they were uploaded and extracted, there is a folder for each font style. What is Embird?
Lynn Petersen Yes, any design would have to be in a compatible JEF form. I'm not sure why they are not showing up. Do you have a dealer you could contact or Janome directly? Embird is embroidery software which allows you to design & edit embroidery files.
I have this machine also and am not having luck with getting lessons from the store I bought mine from. I have done several projects successfully and am loving this machine! I do have a question. How can I do larger letters and large 3 letter monograms? I have googled it and youtubed it to no avail. Thank you in advance for your advice.

I've done some designs, but had a horrendous time figuring out where they would appear on the fabric. I'm going to look into getting a clothsetter. Thanks for the tip.
Hoping to hear from you regarding the download question!
Thanks for your video & hope you can help!

from where you got it? and how much it cost? thank you
Hi! I bought it from a Janome sewing machine dealer and it was Canadian dollars $1000+ 🙂 Thank you for your comment
@@dailycharmaddict thank you for replying.. hmm where I can find the dealer?
Noor Alawami you have to search for a JANOME dealer in your area on Google!!
Also, do I need to purchase software to do larger outlines of the alphabet? And if so, what do I purchase?
Jolene Jackson Hi Jolene! So...if you have purchased a JEF embroidery file from somewhere you can simply transfer it from your computer to a stick/flash drive and then plug it into your 350 and access the file using that choice on the on-board screen of the 350. If you want to manipulate the design file in any way, or combine designs for example, you may want to have some software for that purpose. I chose Embird and within that software I purchased some extra 'stylized' alphabets, simply for variety. With that software you can create words or sentences to stitch out (e.g. a quilt label). You do not NEED to buy extra software to use your machine but it adds an extra element of customizability and creativity if that is something you are looking for. TBH, I use Embird mostly to 'see' what the design will look like and print out a template on vellum for accurate placement. I don't really use it much for designing or embellishment. I have used some purchased fonts for labels. I believe there are some free versions of Embird to try as well as some other brands. With Embird, you only purchase the components you need so it was not too expensive (maybe $150 ish ???). I would play and experiment with what is on-board the machine already and get comfortable. There are 3 sizes of monograms, different styles and upper and lower case. There is a lot to work with without adding software. Play and have fun and then decide if you need something more depending on what you intend to do. Hope that helps! :)
I purchased this machine about 3 yrs ago used. I have played around with it some and have made some things with it, mostly using the fonts. I only just recently learned about there being software and digitizing ability that our machine can do. What software do you recommend? You mention embryo or something like that for $150. Is that the software name and is it both PC and Mac compatible? Thank you. I am just now beginning to watch these tubes and finding out so much more about my machine that will make using it easier for me. Theresa
Hi Theresa! Glad you are playing around with your machine a bit. I did embroider some stockings last Christmas and they turned out very well! I haven't used the software in years, and even when I quilted more often (and added embroidery), I didn't digitize much. I'm sure things have changed so much! The software I purchased at the time is called Embird. Hope that helps a bit but I really do not use it much :(
Can this machine make a short phrase or sentence?
Matt Saltzer it can...with limitations. You can only pre-program a certain amount of characters (can't recall how many and am not near manual. I will check and reply again). You are further limited depending on which font you choose (I think there are 3) and size (also 3). I'll double che k all this when I go to my studio and get back to you. It's an at-home machine, is fairly basic, and you probably wouldn't want this for any commercial sentence/phrase embroidery. Hope that helps
Hi there, I realise that this is an old post and you may not have this machine anymore, but wanted to ask if you could explain how you used the giga hoop? Were you able to do all the design on the machine without any software program on a computer? Thanks, Tina.
Hi Tina! I do in fact still have this machine! However, I haven't used it in a while. The giga hoop works by splitting the design into two parts. The first half is stitched, the hoop is shifted and then the second half is stitched. Tbh I have only used it once and I used a file on a purchased Janome cd (a dog and cat design). No other software was required since the cs files were made exactly for this process. If you'd like to read more about it and see my stitched design (which I made into a pillow, still use, and is very cute!) you can read my blog post here: www.overthekitchencounter.com/over_the_kitchen_counter_/2013/04/lets-be-friends-giga-hoop-embroidery.html if that doesn't work, go to overthekitchencounter.com and search giga hoop in the search box and scroll down to find the post. Hope that helps a little bit; I loved watching the machine stitch and the results are beautiful! I hope my life circumstances allow me to get back to it one day soon! Take care, good luck, and have fun!! Thank you for watching and commenting! - Angie
Do you have any info on the eye glass caves you made?
I am getting ready to buy this from a local dealer I have brother embroidery thread would it work ok in this machine?
+dingaling babysling Any embroidery thread should work just fine! I use Marathon Threads with no problems! Have fun!
I have this machine and it's a great beginner machine that can go for a long time before you are ready to go to the next level. I'm sorry to say that I could barely hear this audio and also when talking about a certain technique or button it would have been nice to see where that button was located! Some of us like to see everything!! You talked about a larger hoop but it seems like there is a learning curve to moving the fabric around. would love to have a video lesson on making more continuous designs! Good video overall though. Thank you
Hi! So sorry you couldn't hear the video well. I found going through the manual & playing with the machine as I did, to be helpful in learning what it could do & what buttons do what. I did a lot of experimentation & practice stitch outs. The Giga hoop stitches one half of the design & then you simply turn it around for the second half. You can search my blog for the post(s) about the machine & hoop/projects for more detailed info. I have not used the machine as much as I would like as quilting takes up the majority of my time - but it is fun when I do! Good luck with your machine! Thanks for taking the time to comment too!
is it a 5x7 or 4x4 fram also does the thread matter? I am new at this and I am trying to figure it out
rm2381 it comes with both (in slightly larger sizes than that). You can also get a giga hoop for even larger designs by doing half and then rotating the hoop. But the 5x7 hoop is the largest it comes with and I find that very versatile and large enough for my use. It's a great machine.
Hav 1 quest... can we embroid a name 7 or 8 alphabet at once.????
You can program in the name on the screen and it will embroider the whole thing (if that’s what you mean) 🙂
@@dailycharmaddict suppose my name is a long 1 and my font size big. I mean if the name exceeds the square craft...????
@@reshmaamadhu2898 hmmm, there is a larger hoop but you have to turn it half way through the pattern. You could try to line it up but I think it would be tricky; I haven’t used it in that way. 🙁 I’m sorry I can’t be of more help. Might be cheaper and easier to go to a professional for a one-time project
@@dailycharmaddict Thank you very much dear.
Hi! I recently got a used Janome Memory Craft 300E and I have a question hopefully someone here can answer. When I turn the machine on, the words "Bobbin winding" comes up on the screen (along with a large picture of a bobbin). It stays there no matter what I do and no other functions are available. What am I doing wrong? I've been troubleshooting for several hours now and I'm starting to feel hopeless.
Thank you,
Sherry
hmm, that sounds glitchy. I would recommend find an authorized Janome dealer for service. I'm sorry that happened to you because they are really great machines. Hopefully it's a simple reset. Good luck!
I know it’s a year late lol but I had the same thing when I got mine and when I pushed the bobbin winding spindle on the top back over ...it went away. It no longer considered it was winding a bobbin!
У вас есть Ватсап?у меня проблемма с машинкой.
Hi there! Thanks for the review. Can you embroider something thick like a teddy bear? I know nothing about these machines but I've quickly become very interested. Thanks in advance!
Hi. Sorry I never got notified about your comment! With an at-home embroidery machine such as this you are only limited by what will fit in the hoops you have and what will fit under the needle. If you can hoop the fabric (or fur, in your case) you should be able to embroider it but I would definitely suggest doing test swatches first. I know that when embroidering loopy, dense towels/terry it is necessary to use the correct stabilizer and topping (so that the nap is not crushed and also the stitches are not 'lost' in the depth of the texture. I haven't embroidered on fur myself but if it is possible, perhaps trimming the area to be embroidered AND using a topping layer, might help. You would definitely have to research that more if you are focusing on teddy bear material. Good luck! Thanks for watching...
Hello, can someone help me if how much this machine in USD$? Thank you so much!
I am in Canada so I don't know what the cost would be in US dollars. I bought my machine years ago and it was over $1000. It is best to contact a Janome dealer in your area to discuss prices. They can often offer good deals and or trade-in allowances, free accessories, and excellent service. Good luck!
@@dailycharmaddict Thank you so much, Ma'am!
@@celinekim6846 I recently bought one for $350. They are for sale on Ebay. Love this machine!
thanks Angie, looks like a nice machine
Could you tell me how to upload new fonts to the 350E? I've uploaded some new fonts in JEF but the machine doesn't recognize it. It recognizes the new images though.
Lynn Petersen Hmm, I have purchased fonts in Embird & then used a USB stick to transfer the design. Are u sure your new fonts were put in the My Designs folder on your stick?
***** Yes, they were under MY DESIGNS but they don't show up. Should they be in JEF form? That's what I uploaded in JEF form. When they were uploaded and extracted, there is a folder for each font style. What is Embird?
Lynn Petersen Yes, any design would have to be in a compatible JEF form. I'm not sure why they are not showing up. Do you have a dealer you could contact or Janome directly? Embird is embroidery software which allows you to design & edit embroidery files.
I have this machine also and am not having luck with getting lessons from the store I bought mine from. I have done several projects successfully and am loving this machine! I do have a question. How can I do larger letters and large 3 letter monograms? I have googled it and youtubed it to no avail. Thank you in advance for your advice.
I ordered this one....Thank You!
from where you get it?
Thanks that's really good clear information.
My neighbor just gave this machine to me today
Wow!!!! That is a lovely gift!!! Have fun with it, you'll be looking for things to embroider!
@@dailycharmaddict can i use this machine to finish quilt tops ?
cant hear even with my volume all the way up
