Janome embroidery machines
Janome's home embroidery machines are the Memory Craft (MC) line, and its multi-needle machines are the MB line. Janome machines use the .JEF file format and Janome's own hoop sizes, which are given in millimetres.
Janome hoop names (like SQ14 or RE20b) describe the hoop shape and size in centimetres, so compare the stitch area in millimetres when you shop across brands.
