Janome Memorycraft 500E review

The Janome brand

 

Janome comes from the Japanese “Ja No Me” which means snake eye (think round can!). Janome is a Japanese company that was founded in 1921. With nearly 100 years of experience, it has managed to position itself as the leading manufacturer of family sewing machines worldwide. Janome sewing machines have thus become more and more successful over the years.

However, it does not only offer sewing machines: you can also choose an overlocker, a cover or even an embroidery machine. The success encountered by the company prompted it to open a second factory, then a third to meet the growing demand. Janome offers quality products at a competitive price. The company guarantees a sustainable purchase and competent after-sales service. Janome is aimed at both beginners and more experienced seamstresses.

The different connectors offer the possibility of creating numerous patterns and extending the possibilities.

Disadvantages


On the downside, like all embroiderers, one could highlight the price. Indeed, it is a rather large investment. Nevertheless, this embroiderer proves to be more competitive compared to others in the same price range.
Some might blame him for his message in German at startup. If this were to happen to you, nothing could be simpler, just raise the needle.
Its very straight design and the visual on the LCD screen gives it a somewhat austere look. That said, it’s only an aesthetic detail that has no impact on its performance, but visually, we might tend to be tempted by another model with a more user-friendly look.
