Janome Memory Craft 500e LE Embroidery Machine Bundle - Includes 5-Spool Thread Stand, 3.9" x 1.6" Hoop, Acustitch Software + USB Flash Drive w/ 30 Designs

i /we don't write many reviews, but i really must say, after using the Janome Memory Craft 500E Embroidery Machine for a year now, the simplicity of its use, dependably is superb, it is quiet, temperamental, what i mean is don't mix threads, bobbin and spool, use like for like, you break a needle, look for broken piece, any unfamiliar noise, you did not find broken end of needle, maintain as per instructions, in the first year over 500 of use, issues that developed were operator error, machine is smart, very easy to use , you must learn to download files, this a minor learning curve, but when you learn, there are so many projects you can do. we made several free standing lace Christmas ornaments for gifts, besides projects for children, grand kids, and friends. if you are looking for an embroidery machine only, go try one out at a dealer, I bought this off amazon for my wife for a Christmas gift last year, did a lot of research. I am very pleased with the purchase.

My first projects were small months o the year. They stitched out beautifully. I have had Janome Embroidery machines since they first came out and would not buy any other brand. I have worn out several of them. Great machines!.

Please, don’t buy this online!!! I received mine thought everything was fine but the stitching seamed off. Wait to take a class and found out it wasn’t anything I was doing but the machine was defective. Because it had been 35 days there answer was for me to pay to mail it back and they would either fix or replace the item, and I was lucky they were willing to pay 1/2. If I had bought this locally I would have had much better customer service, on site help, and not have to pay to ship the machine back to the seller every time the machine needs service. Please think about this before you think it’s a great price!!!! By the way shipping is any where from $135-150 so save your box!Now for the machine, overall on a machine that actually stitches correctly, it’s simple for a beginner to use and have been happy with the ease of use. Had I received a machine that worked my review would have been a 5 star review. However, I don’t feel that a hard and fast 30 day return policy is remotely fair, especially since some of us wait to take a class. So if you do buy this machine take it immediately to your local Janome dealer and make sure it was working correctly. If the arm that attaches to your hoop is flops up, and is not attached in the back this is not put together correctly.

Yo me compre esta maquina y es super fácil de usar lo que aun tengo un poco de dudas es los tipos de aguja que debo usar y para que tipos de tela

Sending the machine back. Trial embroidery samples sewed up nicely. The needle threader does not work consistently -making a big issue for multiple thread color changes. Thread issue also with breakage. Unfortunate because the hoop size makes this machine a good deal and I like the way the hoop attaches to the embriodery arm.

I’m sure this is a great machine and works wonderfully! Buuuuut I don’t think sewing is up my alley! It was very complicated for me (I had no prior experience) so I decided to return it. I had to watch several YouTube videos to help get it set up and ready to use. The thread kept breaking off inside of the machine, not sure if that was user error or bad thread or if something is wrong with the machine!

Love my machine I had 2 brother embroidery machine when I tell the Janome is better faster on doing my work so worth buying

The media could not be loaded. I LOVE this embroidery machine. So easy to use, especially if you have had an embroidery machine in the past. My first project was a cat face on a red stocking for my daughter. It came out beautiful!
