The EP4 is the same machine as a Janome MB4. Keep in mind this is a 4 needle machine that can not do caps. If you are looking for more than 4 colors or want to do the front of caps, I would look at the Brother PR-600 or PR-620 which can do 6 colors.

If so, what do you think about it. I currently have two Brother/Babylock six needle machines and along with everything else I do they are working out great for me. But, on occasion, I would like to do a bigger jacketback design than my machine allows. It seems that the EP4 will do that. Also, I'd like a little bit bigger hat area as well. So, I don't want to spend too much as these are just "desired" add-ons. If you have this machine what problems have you had and do you think it would be worth adding to my shop?
