Good for you! I love my Jan, who is a Memory Craft 9000. Isn't it odd how the numbers are going backward? One of my favorite things about Janome is the rounded look of it. There is something so femine about it, and I know that's crazy. I just find it really appealing. Great machine, well built, quiet running, sensible features. I know you'll make great stuff with it, and have fun, too.
