I have the 11000 for embroidery and the Jem Platinum for my everyday sewing and class work. I love them both, and have a wonderful dealer whose husband is very patient with me when I have problems. I will stick with Janome as they have been excellent machines. I sometimes have them both going at the same time. My only problem with the 11000 is I have to have it on my dining room table as I can't get the arm out to embroider in my sewing room. I have dreams of getting a cabinet for it (Horn) but I'm waiting for my ship to come in.
