I have an old(# 9000) an it is a work horse, I don't use it for embroidery anymore just sewing but love for that alone. 4x4 design field one of my first E machines.
Babylock has a super sale! buy the embroidery only machine and get a "Take Along" sewing machine FREE!
I have a Janome MB4, and love it. The only downfall is they don't have a good hat hoop.
ttt I am sure that Mops/Martine has one of these machines. I have just noticed the date on this posting so presume if help was wanted with a view to buying one that one has already been bought or not
Thanks have made a decision I will be getting one, now waiting for finances to be on my side
You won't be sorry. I have the Melco EP-4 which is exactly the same and I love it.
Marian, I'm bringing this back to the top for you, hoping you'll get more answers. May I suggest that you re-post your question in the Q&A section, or in "Embroidery", because it really is about an embroidery machine, and would likely attract more attention there. It may be "personal" to you, but really this section is more about things like grandkids, prayer requests, etc., so the right people who have information helpful to you may not even be seeing your question. Thanks and good luck to you. I have a Janome 300E, and wouldn't trade it for the world. I've seen the MB4 at work at my dealer's shop many times, and had to wipe the drool off my chin just as many times! I'd buy one in a heartbeat, if it were the right price. But I don't actually HAVE one, so do try to get info from someone who does. Hugs, Marji
Thank you for your advice, maybe we'll have to drool together till the right price or lottery win comes along.. marian
ttt I have a Janome 10001 & I have had the 11000 & now have the 12000 & I LOVE IT! I also have A Janome Serger & a multi stitch Janome too ( I have other machines as well but I am a fan of Janome. Best of luck to you Marian, hugs Loralye
I have a 300E which I love, but now thinking I would like something a bit bigger.
