How does a Janome 300E compare to the Brother Machines at Walmart?
I got a Janome 300E; but am wondering if the Brother Embroidery Machines at walmart would be a better choice.
Brother and Singer brands are NOT low end machines. The models sold at Walmart are lower end models. The more sophisticated the machine the more it costs. The basic functions are the same.
The Brother embroidery machine at Walmart is less expensive and requires a read/writer unit if you wish do download designs from the Internet. The PED Basic for this process is less than $120 on-line.
I have purchased software from this company and they are reputable - http://www.allbrands.com/products/abp01060-0165.html
The Janome also requires a reader/writer unit for downloading designs and is a little more expensive. http://www.allbrands.com/products/abp10248-0165.html
The Janome has a 5 x 7 embroidery area and the Brother at Walmart is 4 x 4. Other than that, the Brother 270 will do the same thing as the Janome 300 for half the price.
I bought and used the first model that Walmart sold - Brother PE150 embroidery only machine - for several years and then sold it on Ebay for 85% it's original value - it still worked like new. I updated to a Babylock combo.
If you want to spend more than the Walmart price, visit a few dealers and compare features and prices before making a decision.
Machine embroidery is easy to learn, especially with Brother or Babylock machines.

Brothers and Singers are low end of the sewing machines. Janome is a better brand.
I highly recommend you buy an embroidery machine from a sewing machine dealer, where you will get free lessons on how to use the machine and be shown all it can do.
