Easy to do by more expense. I out grew the 5 by 7 and went bigger, I love the embroidery machines!

also check local stores that take a trade in, you can get some really good deals on great machines that way.

You can get a used Janome 350E on ebay or contact www.kenssewingcenter to see if they have any trade-ins. I have found them to be reliable and honest. Since the new Janome 12000 was just released, it may be there are some great trade-ins available.
