Congratulations to you! Did you also take advantage of the special sale on digitizer Jr. software? If you buy any Janome machine, you can purchase the Jr. software for $150.00 which is a savings of about $300. If this is news to you, log on to the Janome home site for details. I don't want to create my own designs, but there are several things available on embroidery software that I would like to do. I just haven't been properly motivated to buy any software, except the Janome Customizer. Normally, Janome digitizing software is priced "out of sight", but this is a good deal that I would take advantage of if I were buying a new machine.
