Hi,
I have all Janome's too. My 9000 will be 14 yrs. old this year. It has blown fuses is the only problem I've had with it. Good machine. But now I'd lke to have the larger embroidery area. I have decided to go for it. :!: My sewing store that I always buy from will not be carrying this line any longer, so I am getting a great deal on the one they have left. They are giving me the Digitizer Pro kit and a few other extras. I also have the 1600P, which I call "The Beast", it is wonderful, and a serger, don't know it's number off hand, but it is good too.
Thanks for the info.
