Yes, you do have some nice machines. I inherited my first sewing machine from my grandmother that is a Universal in a cabinet. It didn't do the decorative stitches I wanted, so my husband surprised me for Christmas last year with a Brother SQ9000 that I love. Was having an issue with it, so I go and buy a Janome 8050, and have recently repaired the Brother. Out of the three I have to say the Brother is my favorite.
