[QUOTE=mamabearme;5048291]I'm shopping for a new machine, and have narrowed it down to 3. All of them are a huge step up from the Wal-Mart Brother I've had for 15 years.

So, can you tell me which one you'd pick, and why? Thanks in advance.

The choices are:
Janome Horizon Memory Craft 2700 QCP
Elna eXcellence 740
Husqvarna Viking Tribute 140C
I would try out the ones that you can get serviced in your town .
It is a bummer to not have anyone to go to if you have a problem, question or need servicing. I have had 3 Vikings and love them but have friends that love their Janomes. I don't know anyone that has an Elna.
