The new machine is a combination sewing/embroidery machine with a large harp and is not a replacement for the Horizon. It is rumored to have a pretty high price tag.

The Janomes are such good machines - you can't go wrong whichever option you choose.

One place you could call is Brubaker's Sewing Center in PA. The have wonderful pricing and service and often have used machines available. They'll be happy to ship to you.
