I just looked at a Janome machine last week. The salesman offered to sell it for $400. with my old Singer as a trade. (I don't recall the Janome ###) I'm going to go look at it again today, and tell him the reason I haven't been in to seal the deal is that my husband has to take my old machine out of the built-in cabinet. He's been too busy, and I was away to Wash.DC to the march for LIFE on a church bus. I ..want to know if this price is a good deal. I'll return to this site later today when I get the number on the model. ....later ladies....Jeanne
