Be careful! I got a package with a Janome 1600P and I have a lot of trouble with it. The machine is too heavy for the frame rails (made of plastic). If this is the Janome I got, it takes a special needle and I have had so much trouble with it (thread breaking and it running off the track) I have hardly used it. I may some day replace the machine. The needle has no flat place so you know how to insert it and it is just trial and error. It has no place for home sewing, in my opinion.
