I upgraded to this machine from my previous machine which was the Janome Memory Craft 350e, I have not had any problems with either machine except that with my 350e after eight years with no maintenance until it wouldn't stitch, got it fixed and still works like it did when I got it brand new. although I use my 400e more than I do my 350e now I still have them both and can have two projects going at the same time.

This machine sews the most beautiful embroidery on Comfort Blankets for my ministry. I'm very impressed.

I've had this machine for almost 6 months, This is my 5th embroidery machine (which I still have three ) and it works great. I'm an experienced machine embroider and just wanted a bit larger hoop, I've owned a Janome Memory Craft 10001 for twelve years and it is still sewing and embroidering like it did the day I took it out of the box. Other than wanting a little larger hoop, I did not want to pay another $5000 plus for anotehr sewing /embroidery machine. If you are a new machine embroiderer, you cannot just buy an embroidery machine and start sewing without doing a lot of research about formats and stabilizers and correct thread and design sizes vs the hoops the machine has. This machine is a great machine but does require a bit of embroidering knowledge to perform at its best.

My fiance loves this and uses it all the time for all sorts of crafts and creations.
