Main Features
Larger Embroidery Area
The new RE36b hoop provides an embroidery area of 7.9" x 14"; it's the largest embroidery area Janome has ever included on an embroidery only machine! You can hoop bigger designs and refuce the number of re-hoopings so very large projects go faster.

Designs for Days
Designs are easily imported into the Janome MC550E through a USB or with a direct connection to your PC. Once in the MC550E, a design can be edited using the machine's advanced on screen functions. Navigation through all of these editing functions is naturally intuitive, and it's all easier to see thanks to the large LCD colour touch screen. There are 180 built in designs, including floral alphabets, in-the-hoop monsters, even Sashiko and wedding designs. Add in six fonts, and the possibilities are really limitless.
