It's a fantastic starter machine. I find that Janome machines are easier to use than Brother machines and the 200e has a bit more capabilities. It has a 5.5" square hoop and you can buy a smaller hoop separately. I used mine every day for 2 months before I got the 350e. Actually I fell into a great deal on a used 350e, that's why I bought another machine so soon. I played with the 200e constantly and found it can do a couple things that I was told it can't do. You can combine designs in the editing screen(even the Janome website says the 200e can't do this). I loved my 200e and often used it at the same time as I was using the 350e.
