I am addicted to sewing machines...my first one was a Kenmore (made by Janome) and I did everything on it for years...still have it..after many years of doing without, I decided to get a Serger...then I started sewing more seriously making drapes and Romans and I inherited a Singer Industrial Centenniel edition...a great opportunity came by to buy an almost brand new Indudstral Juki soon after and of course I bought that...a few months after that I fell in love with the Janome 6600...and bought it...I also got an old Singer of my mom's and then I decided I needed a portable for the cottage...along the way I bought a great little Blindstitch machine on ebay, worth every penny for sewing my drapery hems...and of course, my collection wasn't complete without a featherweight..I have been eyeing them on Ebay for ages but have always been worried about the customs fees, etc...this past summer, within a month of each other I came across 2 of the most beautiful FW's, one being a century edition...this month I sold the old Singer and the portable, and that paid for my FWs...so I don't feel bad...now I am thinking about getting the Janome Horizon...
