Susan I have a basic Janome too but have talked to the dealer
about the computerized ones. He husband repairs and cleans
all machines. I ask her about the problems (if any) with the
computer part of a machine and she says they have never had
any report of any problems with one. I'm looking and thinking
about one. Because my husband does real computers it scares
me to have my sewing machine computerized. I know what
happens with the real ones. Oh MY !!
