DH bought me a Janome MC350e while at the Knoxville Quilt Expo - I love it. Only trouble now is that I can't stop playing with it and I need to finish some quilts. What shall I do? (lol)

Make a quilt, then as you bind, let the 350E print your label for you. I have one and love it. Enjoy yours.

Embroider a design on your quilt, embroider a label for your quilt, if you quilt it yourself, find a redwork design or a one thread design and use it to quilt certain areas of your quilt. There, now you've finished your quilt AND played with your embroidery machine!

I love my 350e; it's a great machine. I don't use it very often, but it is sure handy when I want to do something and it's wonderful for quilt labels.

Have fun with it!

Give Hubby a big kiss!!!! What a sweetie! I've been wanting an embroidery machine forever. I keep trying to save the money, but life keeps happening and the money has to go for other things. Hope you enjoy your new toy!!!
