It seems you can get more for your money with a Janome
Thank you for this comment I actually love my old kenmore but need some more stitches on the small Janome I bought. The shop I go to that sell Jamome sells used ones. I think I am going to get a used gem gold that does more that the one I have now and save for a new larger model Bernina. It does seem more shops sell those.
Yes, because Janome is made cheaper in China with cheaper materials. I love my Janome, but there really is no comparison to a Bernina. It's like comparing a Chevy to a Rolls Royce. There's nothing wrong with a Chevy. But, once you've driven a Rolls Royce, it's hard to go back!
