I love the big hoops it has. We'll see what happens.
I looked that machine up on the enter net and it sure looks like it would fit the bill for everything you wanted to do. Do you know what the cost is. There isn't a dealer close so I could go in and take a look. I have and old Janome and it is a work horse.
It is listed here in Canada at $8995. but my friend who was in Atlantic City over the weekend said it is the same price there. I am going to wait and see if they have any start-up issues since they are a new machine. I will probably get one in about a year, that should be enough time to know how they are going to turn out. It is the nicest machine and I can't think of anything it won't do. You really have to see it to appreciate it. I am wondering though that with all the extra features (there is a ton of them) if it is just that much more that can go wrong. We'll see.
