I have the Janome 350e and love it. The differences between the 300e and 350e are minimal. So long as you have the USB port, you can do about anything. The two hoop sizes are the most common and there isn't much you would want to do that would need a larger hoop. I love being able to personalize tea towels, hand towels, aprons and quilt labels. I tried a combo first but like the separate machines best. While sewing on one, the 350e is making a label or design. My friends all love Maxine and I have both of her cd's.
