Thanks for this post. I bought a Janome 350E when I bought my new Janome 6600, it was a real cost savings buying both at once. Since I have never done machine embroidery I bought their thread because of the vast amount of colors at such a good price. I don't have anything to compare it to but I'm not impressed. What I have made doesn't seem to cover very good and I was thinking it was my machine but maybe it is the thread. I guess it is a case of you get what you paid for.
