I'm just dreaming at this point but thanks for all the input you gave me.
To those who suggest I go to a dealer for Janome and other high cost machines..............I can barely scrap up enough for this machine @ $169.99 let a lone a Janome. Belive me, I'd like nothing better than to have a top notch machine but not everyone, including myself can afford those machines. I started out sewing on a simple Singer dh got me for Christmas in 1968 and loved but it went on the fritz and we don't have any repair shops near here. I got a Brother XL3022 14 years ago at Walmart for $179 which I like and am using still and haven't had any trouble with it at all but I want one that has more features, now that I am learning to quilt.
JoAnn's has one I'd really like but the $299. (on sale, reg. $399) price tag is beyond my reach. :(
I'll let you know what I get if I am lucky enough to get a new one.
