If you want a Kenmore machine.
Kenmores have been made by White manf. who makes Janome brand machines. That's why the high end Kenmores have the Janome features. White is not going to be making Kenmores any more. In fact the whole Kenmore line may be not made anymore. I know most of the bigger Sears stores do not have the machines. For the price you cannot beat the high end Kenmores. If you are in the market for a great machine with all the bells and whistles for a few hundred dollars, don't wait too long to check out the Kenmores.
