I have several vintage machines, and I have a newer (2years old) lower end Janome. The Janome sits unused, I keep it because my spousal unit gave it to me....I'd much rather use the vintage machines.
I bought a cleaning kit today and hope to work on cleaning it tonight! I think I will feel better know it is clean...I am kinda OCD about that and maybe that is what has been bugging me. lol
