I have both the Janome 11000 and the Janome 9000. I love both of them. There isn't much that we can't do on these machines. The lessons are critical. There are video's available if you don't live near a dealership. Keep in mind the ones over Ebay also don't have a warranty. I wouldn't buy this expensive of a machine without a warranty.
Most dealers take trade-ins too if you have another machine that you would want to swap out.
