I know its out there but my Googling hasn't found it!
Is this a sewing machine as well as embroidery?
If so, how many stitches are built in?
How old is this model?
Does the scanner they come with really produce an embroiderable
design???
Thanks for any info! Sonya

G'day Sonya

The Janome 5000 is a sewing and embroidery machine but it is one of the
older models, I think from approx 1997. I can't comment on the Scan n
Sew because I have never used one......hopefully someone else can?

This site will give some info....

http://www.the-internet-pages.co.uk/scotland/aber/sew1/janome.htm

This model has generic memory cards and depending on the purchase price,
and your budget, you might want to check the later models that use a
Compact Flash card that is used in lots of cameras, PDA's etc, these
cards give more flexibility and are cheaper.

If your budget allows and you already have a sewing machine, you might
want to check a Janome 300E (embroidery only).

Hope this helps?
Bronwyn ;-)

The machine is $250 with no manual and no power cord, but has the
scanner and original attachments. It was a floor model and now being
sold by a group that sells old or store closing inventory. I see no
cards or anything else. I'll probably pass.
There is also a Brother PC-7000 for $300. Anyone have experience with
this one?
I don't have a great budget for a new machine. Its depressing to deal
with but I thought if I can find a second machine of a good brand than
I'll be better off than with a cheaper new machine. I use decorative
stitches tremendously so I get tempted by cheaper machines with lots of
stitches, but really want a sturdy machine since I don't have a lot of
money for trips to the repair house.

A wise old guy I once worked with used to say buy cheap buy twice.
Consider that purchasing the parts to make these machines complete is more
often than not more expensive than the machine itself. I get parts requests
all the time for these "Deals"
You would likely do better to save a while and see a local dealer and get a
New or good used machine that is complete with warranty and after sale
service.

I going with this philosophy right now. I am going to Memphis on
Friday with a friend who gets her machines at a dealer. I'll be able
to try out the various machine models and brands which its been some
time since I was last able to. I don't have the pocketbook for it
right now, but perhaps I can set a target, goal to work towards.
Thanks.
