Janome Jem Platinum 760
I bought a used one today for $300. Is this a good buy. If you have one, when did you get it and do you like it?

If it has no issues then that is a very good buy. Have been looking at the Janome Jems in search of a light weight machine to take to classes.

Forgot to say - I returned mine and got a TXL 607 for a few pounds extra and love it, although it's a little heavier than my original. Also the Janome 525S won the 'Best Buy' from our national consumer magazine Which? and it only weighs 6kg.
PS - I don't work for Janome, lol! |
I have the jem, and she is a dandy of a machine. price wise you did ok. nice little light weight machine to take to class which is why I bought it.

We have one of the forunners but also a Janome Jem. I say "we" becuase everyone in my large family sews on it or has learned to sew using that machine. It is great for taking to class and does a wonderful free motion stich. Enjoy!

I have the same machine and got it new for around $500 on a special. I really like it for my piecing and taking to classes. I have the 12K for my heavy sewing and emb. I also like the weight for carrying around the 760 as I can handle it. Enjoy!

I got the Jem Platinum 7 years ago after I killed my Jem Gold in a car accident. I love it. It travels well (barring a car crash) to class, etc. it has not given me a moments trouble. I do have it cleaned yearly. Good choice, have fun.

Thank you for the input. So far I like it a lot.
