MB4 @ Festival of Quilts 2010

This was the first Festival of Quilts the Janome MB4 had been exhibited at... and what a lot of interest it received!
The MB4 is a four needle automatic embroidery machine and is wonderful addition to any sewing workroom. Many quilters now, are experimenting with automatic embroidery, not with ready made designs, but by designing their own unique designs on Janome Digitizer MB software, and then adding free machine quilting and decorative stitches.
The Mb4 is also, an ideal embroidery machine for hobby embroiderer's, who like to work a little quicker than standard domestic embroidery machines, as the MB4 has four colours, it will trim and change colour automatically!

It's also a fabulous embroidery machine for people who are starting an embroidery business, and working from home.

Stocks Sewing Machines from Leeds were exhibiting the MB4, along with Iris embroidery and cotton quilting thread. They have a wonderful website were you can purchase all your embroidery and quilting supplies.... and of course the Janome MB4!
