A computerized embroidery only machine with a built in design library and monogram fonts, made for home embroiderers. It does no garment sewing, so a separate sewing machine is still needed.

Overview
Not a sewing machine, the Janome MC400E is an embroidery only unit that stitches from built in designs and monogramming fonts. A touch panel with a stylus runs it, and an instruction book comes in the box.
The reason to buy is a ready library: stored designs and fonts mean there is something to stitch out of the box. The limit is scope, since it only embroiders, and the listing leaves out the embroidery field, speed and needle count.
Who it's for
Home embroiderers building a monogram and design routine will use the stored patterns and the large square hoop. Those who need a combined sewing and embroidery machine should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Built in design library
- Monogramming fonts included
- Large square hoop included
- Touch panel with stylus
- Embroidery only, no sewing
- Needle count not listed
- Large footprint for a small table
Performance notes
The machine stitches whatever is in its library, so output follows the chosen design and hoop. The hoop sets the largest area that can be embroidered at once. Speed and the stated embroidery field are missing from the listing, so check them before planning production work.
