I have a Janome I can't scan but I love my machine. The one thing that I would say is hopefully you can buy your machine were you can get lots of support. When I bought mine from a local dealer 10 minutes away. They answered all my question & friendly. Later I found another dealer a 45 minute drive, they had a free embroidery club they do monthly demo's and show & tell. I drive the 45 minutes as often as possible. I have learned so much from them I kinda wish I bought my machine from them. I do realize I'm lucky to have two within an hrs. drive. Also do your homework and a good place to start is right here on the Board. Good luck and will be watching this post, will like to know what you decide on.
