I have a Janome MC4000 which was one of the first computerised machines Janome made, I have had it for 20 years and for the first 10 years used it to run a wedding dress business. It sews like a dream, I have sewn continously on it for up to 10 hours at a time (large order wedding and bridesmaid dresses), sewn organza leather and I now have started quilting. The only reason I would like a new machine is that a) I want one and b) I would like a machine with a bigger throat space for quilting.
