I agree with LyndaOH regarding the price. I think that is high. I have the Janome 300E that came out before the 350E. I have had a lot of bobbin trouble with my machine and when I researched it, I found that a lot of Janomes have bobbin trouble. But, many people love their Janome. I will not purchase another one. I purchased a small Brother that sews and embroideries and I really like it.
