I have a3 year old Janome 11000SE and absolutely love it. Easy to use but have to keep the bobbin area lint free. Does wonderful stitching, applique, embroidery. I also have MB4 thats 2 yrs old and does a great job embroidering. Love the 4 needles. I also have small lightweight Janome that's a basic machine and great to travel with, but I usually take the 10000 because of what it does. I travel 7 hours to get mine serviced in Amarillo at Sewing World. Both are served about every 9 months or when I'm in Amarillo to visit my mother.
they are great in making sure I' m taking care of them properly so they will last.
