This has been an exciting research project, but I am getting a little tired and just want to go buy the machine and start learning how to use it. One of my main reasons for buying is the cost.

Some of the machines I have looked at are 5000 to 7000 dollars. That's a lot of money for a sewing machine - at least for me. I have not found but one negative remark against the 350E and it was the size of the embroidery field. The woman thought it was too small as she wanted to do really large projects. I don't know what she wanted to do, but I think Janome's field is equivalent to most other brands. Again thanks for all your help.

Size of the embroidery field - - What will you be embroidering? I understand you when getting a little tired and just want to go buy the machine. The 350e has Built-In Designs and some fonts. I used these before I purchased any software. I learnt how to use the machine this way.

I have the 'A' hoop, 'B' hoop and GigaHoop. Haven't used GH yet. I don't have a Clothsetter.

I have been informed some designs will need to be split to use the GHoop. Software does this. And I am in no hurry.

Once I familiarised myself with the machine and did a few test runs, I started downloading designs from the internet to my pc. With my BuzzTools Software, I viewed them on the pc, made changes to the designs and then using my usb stick loaded the saved.jef into the machine. I use Stabilizers from Floriani. I have recently downloaded the free Thread Converter Pro III programme which lets you 'play' with their other software programs. I use Hemmingworth Threads because Madeira here in Australia don't supply all colours.

Hemmingworth has close colour matched Madeira and all are available to me. We ladies here refer to this a lot. It's very informative, with videos and printable instructions. Sign up is free, receive weekly news and specials.

I have purchased designs ( email download) and have had no problems. Let us know how you go. Cherrypops gave you a lot of good information on customizing/digitizing software for the Janome 350e. I have the 300e (the previous model), and the Janome Customizer software was included when I purchased my machine. I have used Customizer to combine designs, but I don't use it often. If you want to do monograms, another software to consider is the. I knew when I bought the embroidery machine that I would probably do a lot of monogramming, and this software was recommended by several members of my sewing guild.

It is not a Janome product, but it does allow you to save your files as.jef or.jef+. You can download a free trial at their website. I have really enjoyed creating unique monograms and names to personalize gifts and items for our home. There are other monogramming packages available, but this is the one I use.
