    many years ago, I took a class from a local quilt store, which sold Pfaffs - I brought my Janome to class and the instructor who hated Janome referred to it as my "Jer-om-ey" - that name has stuck in my mind.....

    Ja -NO-me. It's means "eye of the snake" in Japanese.

    All the dealers around here use the three syllable pronunciation. So do I.
