I sold my Bernina and got a Janome because I prefer the drop in bobbin. The B is also an expensive machine to own. Everything costs. The Janome you can afford to buy accesories for. I have to say, I'm very satisfied with the Janome but wanted something to do fancy sticthes with.
I just bought a Brother for fun and have fallen in love with it. I got it at Walmart because they are so good about returning things. The price is unbelievable for all the things that came in the package. It weighs under 20 Lbs anad has 60 fancy stitches and a drop in bobbin and a extention table etc, etc. Oh ya, also a walking foot! For under $300!!!!!
Check it out :!:
