That is a nice machine. Easy to use and not temperamental. I bought one 4+ years ago when I first started sewing and I have never regretted it. Just over a year ago I "moved up" and bought a Janome 7700 but last week I took a class and guess who went to school with me?
Yep, the Brother. I hadn't used it for a year but it behaved nicely and now I'm actually thinking of leaving it up so I don't have to change feet/thread/whatever on the Janome when I'm in the middle of a project and want to do something else.
