It's made by Janome, the 385 tells us that. I have had 2 Janome made Kenmore machines here, and I liked them both. They seem to be towards the top as far as quality when you compare what's out there dollar for dollar. i.e. a Singer, Brother, etc in the same price range. I had one that was a fairly entry level machine and it worked just fine, I have one here right now that was top of the line in its day and it also seems to have no quirks at all. If I had one complaint about the Janome built Kenmores it would be that these ones (the ones I've had here) haven't seemed to have had any personality. But I guess I'll take no attitude over a bad attitude any day.
