    Sounds like you have a GREAT dealer!

    I have bought several Janomes, and loved them all. I have a 6600P, which is a wonderful quilting machine and is a true workhorse. I had a 7700, which was fantastic for about 3 years, and then I upgraded it to an 8900 a year ago. I absolutely love my 8900, with the extra harp for fmq, and once I found the right thread combination, all the stitches are perfectly balanced. I kept the 6600 as my back-up machine, and wouldn't dream of trading it in (I've had it for about 10 years). I agree with keeping the embroidery unit separate from the main sewing/quilting unit. I do take my machines in to my dealer for their annual servicing, and that keeps them in good, working condition. Good luck finding the Janome that is right for you!

    I am sold on Janome. All my machines, 2007DCLE, 6600, 4800QC, 7034 serger, 2012 DC, 720 Jem Platinum, Janome 350e and a Kenmore made by Janome are wonderful machines. I took a class at my LQS on how to do routine maintenance and cleaning on any machine, best $35 ever spent. My feet all interchange, the needle threaders are the best, and they perform as expected when needed. I began with a dual function machine that both embroidered and sewed; I opted to get 2 machines after one week. I am a huge fan of Janome based on positive experiences and reliability of the equipment.

    I just picked up a reconditioned Janome 4000 with hundreds of stitches, on ebay for $200. It is a great little, in size, but very heavy, sewing machine. I wanted many of the stitches for appliqué as I am doing many of Edyta Sitars and she likes using different stitches. This is a fab little machine. Quiet, good price, free shipping and originally sold for $1500. I also have a Janome 5000 embroidery and a 10000 does everything machine. Love Janome!

    I have 2 Janome 6600 - I purchased one for myself then I had the opportunity to purchase my quilting friend's when she passed away - I love those machines. They are a wonderful machine.

    For crying out loud take it to the repair shop! You may decide you want another machine, but don't give up on a machine you know and love. The chances are good that it will cost less to get a profession repair/tuneup than it will to buy another machine. froggyintexas

    I have machines that are 50 years old and if maintained, are better machines than what's currently produced.

    I have a Janome 4000, can't begin to tell you when I bought it, just remember my Singer playing havoc with stitches and the dealer offered the upgrade to the Janome 4000, and actually discounted it the same price I paid for my Singer. I'm not telling you not to upgrade, but sometimes a trip to the dealer for a tune-up is worth the price. I just did that not too long ago and I don't regret it. I do have an older Brother machine as back-up plus a Kemore that was given to me free, but I need to save up some money to take it in for a check-up and a check. I cannot give you information about newer models of the Janome, but when I do upgrade it will most likely be another Janome, as I love it.
