You can't go wrong with a Janome 350, or any Janome machine. I have had many machines over the years, Brothers, Singer, Baby loc, Viking, but my Janome is the best for the money, and ease of use. I have the 6600P, 6500, Jem Platinum (for rv-we travel in oer 5th wheel). I also bought a Jem Platinum for my 13 year old granddaughter
who used it to start piecing for quilting. Also when she goes off to college, she can take it with her.
I love Janome. The 350 is the best embroidery machine for the price.
