I would try any machine before buying it - and if it works like most Janomes, it will be a really good investment. I did a search and found a couple of recommendations for the machine. Only comment is that it is a basic machine with a minimal amount of decorative stitches. Great for primary or backup machine.
Let us what you thought of it, please.
(One suggestion, take a few samples of the types of fabric and projects you want to work on to test with.)
