HA - I did exactly the same thing :D :D .
Now I have an older, basic Janome and a newer 6600 Janome. I LOVE it!!
To really round out this family, I went back into the same shop last month and -----eeeeek----- there was a pile of Jem Gold Plus machines on sale. Ya, my family is now one machine bigger.
I really don't mind people who are loyal to their Husqvarnas, or Elnas, because I'm loyal to my Janome. All of them are easy to use and real workhorses as well.
I've used the decorative stitches, the heavy-duty stitches and the quilting and pieces stitches, all with no problem.
Bauy it, you'll liake it. :twisted:
