Janome MC 550E borduurmachine incl. 4 borduurframes, nu met 360 x 200 mm borduuroppervlak = beste prijs-kwaliteitverhouding bij borduurmachines

Really fast shipping and got what I ordered without any problems.

Se we are a family of 4 and have agreed that instead of paying for the embroidery services of third parties (quite pricey I might add), we might be better off by purchasing an embroidery machine for our needs that will allow us to develop, digitize and realise our own designs and patterns. And, after a longue online research period on the various types of embroidery machines available out there, we've decided for two base brands: Brother and Janome. Now, a Brother who would satisfy our prerequisites is, sadly, ranging from 7k to 10k (euros), so, reluctantly, we had to scrap it from our list, leaving us with the only other choice: the Janome. Now, the Janome model we would have preferred, the one that would have satisfied entirely our requirements is also in a high price range (6k to 9K) and also is not very common or easy to find in the EU, so we've downsized our requirements to an acceptable level in terms of technical capabilities and price range. Consequently, we've bought the Janome MC 550e model, which I must say, despite some downside aspects in terms of speed and embroidery options (i.e. use of a single needle instead of 3 or more), some limitations related to the availability and amount of specific embroidery files library available (Janome's "jef" files are not as popular as the Brother's "pef" files), after almost one year of use, we are very satisfied with it. The Janome MC 550e has proven to be a very reliable and easy maintenance embroidery machine, finding additional accessories to add to the existing ones, proved not to be a real hassle, and over a period of 12+ months we did manage to build up quite an impressive library of designs and patterns (in terms of images and fonts).The necessary materials and items required to start your own embroidery designs are relatively easy to find online (besides Amazon.eu and Ebay) as there are plenty of other options and resources available online and at decent prices. You only need to spend a bit of time researching and comparing them in terms of quality, price and delivery times.Overall we had and still have a really good experience with the Janome MC 550e and we could only recommend it to anyone else willing to start making his/her own in-house embroidery designs, eventually launch a small embroidery business on the side.
