I have a Janome 10001 and I love it. I have taken it in 2 times for a general checking over and the report came back that it was fine. I have had it for about 5 yrs and basically without problems. I like being able to quilt and embroidery without having to switch machines. oh, btw, I am new to you. I have been lurking, learning and enjoying reading from all of you. I have been waiting to post about something I knew about. So now you know who I am and hope to contribute in the future.
