Memory Craft 550E Limited Edition
Open up a new world of creative possibilities with the flagship Janome Memory Craft 550E Limited Edition (MC550E LE) computerized dedicated embroidery machine! As Janome's largest standalone embroidery platform, the MC550E LE offers an extra-large 7.9" x 14.2" embroidery field. Equipped with 180 built-in designs plus a bonus USB collection of 30 large designs, 6 monogramming fonts, AcuStitch PC software, an extra-wide extension table, and 4 included hoops with magnetic clamps, this machine delivers effortless commercial-scale embellishment.
Massive Clearance & Fabric Support: The RE36b hoop provides an expansive 7.9" x 14.2" area with patent-pending hoop levers and 8 magnetic clamps for secure fabric tension. Paired with a 600mm x 400mm extension table to comfortably support large quilts and garments.
Digital Editing & Custom Layouts: The bright LCD touchscreen allows on-screen editing: enlarge/reduce, rotate, flip, drag-and-drop, arc, combine, and corner layouts. Included AcuStitch software converts stitch patterns into custom geometric shapes on PC.
Clean Finishes & Perfect Stitches: Scissors button triggers upper and bobbin thread cutting, along with programmable jump thread trimming. Automatic thread tension control and anti-kink thread guide deliver balanced stitches at speeds up to 860 SPM.
Production Protection: Auto return post-thread break returns needle to the exact break position. Upper and bobbin thread sensors prevent incomplete stitch-outs, while the USB port allows instant design transfers in .JEF, .JEF+, and .JPX formats.
RE36b Hoop Field
An Embroidery Field Built for Commercial Scale
The RE36b hoop delivers an expansive 7.9" x 14.2" embroidery area — patent-pending hoop levers and 8 magnetic clamps keep fabric secure and tensioned evenly across a field this large.
Extra-Wide Extension Table
An Extension Table Sized for Big Projects
A 600mm x 400mm extra-wide extension table comfortably supports large quilts and garments, so heavy fabric doesn't drag or pull against the machine mid-project.
Full-Color LCD Touchscreen
Full Design Editing Right On the Touchscreen
The bright full-color LCD touchscreen handles enlarge/reduce, rotate, flip, drag-and-drop, arc, combine, and corner layout editing — the entire design workflow without leaving the machine.
Automated Jump Thread Trimming
Clean Thread Cuts at the Push of a Button
A scissors button triggers upper and bobbin thread cutting, and programmable jump thread trimming keeps finishes clean between color changes without manual snipping.
180 Designs + Bonus USB Pack
210 Designs Between What's Built In and What's Bonus
180 built-in embroidery designs are joined by a bonus USB flash drive with 30 large exclusive motifs and 6 monogramming fonts — 210 designs total before you ever load anything else.
Die-Cast Aluminum Frame & 5-LED Lighting
Built to Last, Lit for Precision
A rigid die-cast aluminum internal frame keeps the machine stable through heavy, high-speed use, while 5 white LED lights across 3 locations keep the embroidery field clearly lit from every angle.
