I think the "girls" need to stay together so they won't get lonely. LOL. I have Janome 4000, a Kenmore, which has similar embroidery stitches, etc., although they both need to go to the shop for a tune-up. My poor Janome has been quilting and sewing a lot the last 6 months and has an unusual noise that needs to get looked at. The Kenmore was free, however, I wish I had checked it out before we moved 2 years ago = it sews great, then it stops and the thread is all knotted, not sure what the problem is. Then I have a small Brother - also free that I have been using lately and thankfully it works pretty well, even when quilting. I will stick with the 3 machines, especially since I had 6 before we moved, but they went to good homes.
