Well I am now going to use my Janome 9000 for today, My Babylock Esante is making a weird noise..... so I am going to have to take a look at her and see if I can fix... But I think I will be better off taking her to the "doctor" for her maintenance... I have not sewn with my Janome....... I have the 8000 that I have used forever and this one I just never need her... so she will earn her keep today..........
