i have a janome memory craft 8000 for 16+ years. best machine i ever owned, and that's a lot. :mrgreen: they've come and gone, but not the janome. i have a little one, just like deedum, for travel, the janome gem.
and i bought my daughter a full-size for her birthday.
they do an awful lot for one machine. if you don't have the manual, get one online. be sure to read it.
