I have a jamome 8000 and I love it. It sews beautiful. I don't do the embroidery, I just use the blanket stitches for applique and the some of the other stitches. I have never had the first problem with this machine and it has never been serviced ..I do all that. I switch to my brother quilt club or to my Bernina Record 930. Now my Bernia is electronic and I wouldn't trade it for all the world. I mostly sew..so these machine give me everything I need and if I need a few fancy stitches now and then, the Jamome or Bernia will do it.
