I am asking for any input from all of you here about suggestions. Thank you so much!!
I absolutely love Janome's! My mom has a New Home 7500 that I tried to borrow, er steal, when I moved out and she wouldn't let me...! I had to get my own, but it is a lower model. When I was looking for an embroidery machine, I was looking at Janome's until my husband found my Pfaff 7560 for really cheap in a pawn store. Now that I'm a Pfaff owner, I lean more towards Pfaffs because of the IDT (built in walking foot) option, though, I'd always take any sewing machine off someone's hand if they didn't want it anymore. I have a singer that my 9 year old uses. It came from the thrift store. You never know what you'll find for really cheap...good quality too :lol:
