I purchased this as a Christmas gift for myself. I was pleased that it came with a CD with instructions to get up and running. I was able to stitch out a design the first day. I’m still practicing, but I think I’ve created my first usable design after a very short time! I’ve watched lots of utube tutorials, and they’ve been very helpful. I’ve ordered a few necessities, such as stabilizers of different types, an additional hoop as well. One video also suggested using a pair of hemastats to help remove stabilizer, so I got those as well!! I’ve also ordered some more designs, although the machine comes with several. I just wanted more variety. I did spend quite a bit of time trying to make the machine do what I wanted it to, but I’m confident that precision comes with more practice! This machine is only for my personal use, very much pleased so far, feel the cost is reasonable.

*EDIT* Switching the bobbin case solved my thread-breakage problem. Machine stitches beautifully now.
I was so excited to get this machine with its large embroidery area, but I can’t get through a single color in a design without my thread breaking multiple times. I’ve tried everything, switching the needle, rethreading the top thread, rethreading the bobbin, using a new bobbin, lowering the tension, rebooting, trying different designs. I’ve tried it all and I’m still having thread breakage every minute. So disappointed.
It didn't work. I waited too long to get it returned. I tried and tried. So frustrating. I have owned both brother and bernina embroidery machines and so I do have experience embroidering. Hopefully I can get it to a dealer and get it repaired. Wouldn't have bought it had I known. I have a feeling it's a total loss. Finally figured this out! Love the machine. Just not info to use it. Finally watched tube and learned the trick. Whew!
If you’re gonna go with a one needle stitch machine I would recommend one with WiFi ability. Not being able to adjust preset letters in machine is not worth it. And a lot of accessories for JANOME are expensive. No bundles on hoops for a decent price. And the software can be pricey
ordered this and it was delivered on time after unboxing and setting it up set all the setting that i needed to watched the viedo that was with it to make sure i did it correct all to get a error message so at this time i am not to sure about this
