If you have a janome store near you, go in and test drive one there and they can show you the ins/outs of the machine. My local sewing store has an introductory class - 2 - 4 hour sessions on the machine that they let me take. I bought mine from craigslist from someone who purchased it new at this shop 2 years ago. They may ask for a fee for the class but you should check with them what is available to you.

I really like the acufeed and use it whenever possible.
