Back again.Itold my husband i was getting another janome.he ask me if i was kidding.(i only have 2). what do you girls think should i go for it ?My last one is 4yrs old.

Well - we all have to go for what we want, and think that we need. Of course, we are all spoiling ourselves, but look what you will be able to do with them!

If you can afford it and it will do more that the others, why not? You can always consider trading one of them if it does the same thing. Just think of all the embroidery you can do--- lots of humming machines!

Dear Briauna, if you can afford it, do it. And enjoy your purchase. Flower and XoXo

Absolutely! I now have 5 (one is a single head 6 needle) and they are all different. I have 2 Pfaffs, 2 Vikings and a Brother PR600II and 2 sergers (Imagine Wave & Evolve). You can never have too many machines! mamapelican

What you need to think about, is the embroidery you plan to do, as each machine offers a different ability to different things, ie; hoop size etc. The new Janome 350E has scissors and larger area to view your designs, but still using the same size hoops as the 300e. By going for the 11,000, which is a more expensive item, but what you can do with it, is just amazing, it allows you to do a variety of designs in a different way. And I think you cant have to many machines, I currently run 3, and if I had the space for more I would do it. So enjoy, think before you buy and do it.

Thank you for this info also Katie, I hope to get a new emb mach soon, probably won't be for about a yr tho. Mine only does a 4x4, can't get the 5x7 hoop now.

My dear, if you can afford to, go for it. I know I sure would. You you need to drop the four yr old off somewhere, I can always give you my addy. JK. Just make sure it's a place you can get classes from. I bought a new serger about a year ago and still learning on my own cuz the seller couldn't use it too well nor have teaching lessons... I guess we all learn that one the hard way eh?! *4U my dear.

What kind of serger do you have maybe I can help you by email, there is sime ways of approaching a serger, which is nice and easy, I teach sergering and love the results my students walk away with.

Bless you for your reply and welcome to our Cute family. I have a "Singer QuantumLock 14T967DC". Any help, hints, ideas, etc., would be greatly appreciated. My e-mail addy: joaniessw@hotmail.com. Just put something specific in the subject line like "Serger Help" and from you so I will open it. Thank you and many flowers.

briauna, my theory is - if you can afford it and you really want it - then buy it!!! The advantage of embroidery machines is that they can all be working at the same time, wow girl, you might get to stitch out *all* those designs that you've downloaded, haha. Hugs and a flower sweetie, and you only live once so have fun.

My word girl, you can't take it with you, and kids need to get their own! Go get that machine....then you can have triple the fun! Wish I was in PA, I'd drive you there!;)

Thinking after 48yrs , kids g/kids & gg/kids , it's time to spoil yourself. I say YES go for it. :)
