A strong embroidery machine for a crafter who wants large designs, on-screen editing and four hoops in the box. It is large and heavy, so it needs a dedicated table.

Overview
A home embroiderer moving up to bigger projects gets a Janome Memory Craft with a large hoop area and a color touchscreen. Designs can be rotated, resized, mirrored and combined on screen, and custom files load by USB.
Four hoops up to a large jacket-back size, plus on-screen editing, cover most garment and home decor work without extra purchases. The machine is bulky and heavy, and the listing gives few details on the screen itself.
Who it's for
Embroiderers who personalize gifts, jackets and quilts and want to edit layouts before stitching. A sewist looking for garment construction stitches will need a separate sewing machine, since the listing describes embroidery only.
Pros and cons
- Large embroidery field
- Four hoops in the box
- Edit, rotate and combine on screen
- Imports designs by USB
- Heavy and bulky on a table
- Screen size not listed
- PC software is a separate download
Performance notes
Stitch quality on large designs depends on the hoop holding fabric taut, so matching the hoop to the design size matters. Automatic thread break return lets the machine back up to the break point instead of restarting the design.
