I have Janome 8000 has made 100's of tops did embroidery first few years with it but haven't in last 8+ years kids had a fit everything they owned had something on it !! Mine is a great machine and would love to upgrade and get the "urge" again mine I need to hold when winding bobbin and come to think of it ..used to beep when bobbin was half way then almost empty ?? doesn't anymore wonder if I have a issue? Will yours have a warranty or from an individual ?
