I just ran a post on that same topic: what about the Janome 8900PQC? The response was overwhelmingly in favor of the 8900, with a very enthusiastic response. I only had one woman who said she's bought the machine and now was sorely tempted to "Craig's List" it. I've PM'ed her to find out why. Janome sure inspires confidence and loyalty in their machines! I've had an MC9700 that is a real workhorse, but when it had to be sent in for repair, I was without a machine for almost 3 months. I almost went nuts! So now I want 2 machines so I never have to do without. Oh, yes, and I found a Janome dealer in town, so I no longer have to send it back to the company for repairs - Yeah!!

I was the one who was thinking about selling the Janome, but that is because I want an embroidery machine and wasn't sure I could swing the cost without selling the 8900. I thought I would sell the 8900 and use the money to put toward a Pfaff Creative 3.0 But after talking it over with my husband we think we can swing the cost of an embroidery machine when I get my bonus in March, so I've decided to keep the 8900 and buy a Brother Laura Ashley embroidery machine. I really like the 8900, with only one exception, and that's the thread nest on the back of fabric when starting a new seam after using the cutter. I mostly avoid that by chain piecing. I hate using leaders though ...

Oh, how I wish there were a Janome dealer near where I live! I have New Home (Janome) Memory Craft 6000 that I've had for over 30 year...still sews fine, but I did get a Pfaff Expressions a few years ago because there was a dealer in the larger town close to me and I could count on servicing. Well, the dealer decided to close and take a job elsewhere...yeah, I know. If there were a Janome dealer close by, I would see about trading both machine for a newer Janome. (sigh)
