I have the Janome MC 9500 and the Janome MC300.
I am addicted to machine embroidery and use them for embroidering on blocks for quilts,table runners,place mats all sorts of towels and wash cloths,baby bibs, purses, sweat shirts and the list goes on and on.
Have fun using your new machine but one hint that works for me is I only use Janome bobbin thread for stress free embroidery.
