Our take on the Janome Memory Craft 550E Limited Edition Embroidery Machine

The Memory Craft 550E is a dedicated embroidery-only machine, not a sewing machine. Its 14 x 7.9 inch embroidery field is large for its class, and it stitches up to 860 stitches per minute. The Limited Edition adds four hoops, an extra-wide extension table, AcuStitch PC software and a USB drive with 30 large designs. It suits embroiderers who want a big hoop area and Janome's reliable stitch quality without paying for a combo sewing-embroidery machine.

What reviewers say
