The release of Janome's Memory Craft 8000 in 1990 launched a home embroidery revolution. It opened up new possibilities for creative home users because of its truly profession style embroidery. Newer models now offer patented stepping-motor technology and industry-leading software. Most importantly, though, these amazing machines are surprisingly easy to use.

You will also want to give some thought to a used Janome embroidery machine. When you buy a used machine from a licensed dealer, you don't have the risk you would if you were to buy from an individual. Used Janome embroidery machines are turned in to dealers who masterfully refurbished them, tune them up and make them run like new. They even come with a warranty. The only difference is that they will cost you a fraction of the price.

When it comes to purchasing a home embroidery machine, it is very important to shop around. Be sure to shop brands, shop models and shop new and used. An embroidery machine is a sizable investment and you want to make the best possible choice. All the work will be worth it once you have your machine and you are creating beautiful one-of-a-kind embroidered pieces.
