I finally got it--my new Janome350E and I love it! Now I need to know has anyone used the thread art rayon threads on this machine? it is so much cheaper than the madiera I have been using. any suggestions?

I cannot answer your thread question because I have a Bernina, but I wanted to say

CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW MACHINE!!!! I hope you have 100s of fun hours with it.

Woohoo - a new machine!!!!!!!!!!! Don't you feel like a kid on Christmas?

Don't know for sure about the thread either and I don't know what the thread is like, but I've read articles/projects where any "special" thread is wound up in the bobbin and you practically embellish the block upside down.

Congrats on your new machine! :) I don't know about Thread Art rayon thread, but I use their cotton thread all the time.

Congrats on your new machine! :lol:

Well, I was really excited until about an hour ago. I was embroidery along and all of a sudden the machine made a noise and error came up--I followed insturctions and took project out but now my hoop holder will not close all the way up and designs will not center. any suggestions?

Enjoy!

what brands does everyone else like best in their embroidery machines?

I'm glad you got your new machine. Hope you get an answer to the problem soon.

Congrats on the new machine! I know you'll enjoy it.
