I have an opportunity to buy a 4 year old, completely refurbished Janome 6500 for a great price. The price hasn't been set yet because the machine just came into the sewing shop as a trade in for a new machine. The sewing machine repair person, with whom I've been dealing much too often on my sewing machine, says he will clean up the machine, fix anything that doesn't work, see how much wear and tear it's taken, and then we'll discuss price. Depending on the condition, he was thinking in the $300 to $600 range. I'm going to take some fabric and spend a couple of hours just sewing on it before I make my final decision to buy, and that was just fine with them. So, all you ladies and gentlemen with a Janome 6500, do you like your machine? Does it do what you want? What are the pros and cons! I need to know before I possibly make this purchase, because this represents a big purchase for me right now.
