I have the Janome Horrizon which I love, but I wouldn't want to take it out to classes or retreats. So now I got a Janome Platinum to take out & I love it. Right now I'm waiting for our dealer to get in one of those old ski style shaped zipper foot. There are times when I need one like it. She told me they are available.I needed one to sew on some pearls, so had to get out the old singer.Other than that old zipper foot I'm stuck on Janome.
