I presently have the Janome 11000 and have been very happy with it! However, of course, I am looking to upgrade. I have a little problem lifting the 15000. Have decided to get the 500e embroidery only machine. (actually, I just got it) and once I sell my 11000 (It has a lot of extras - feet, hoops - so I am hoping I will get enough), I will buy the Skyline s7. The two of them come to less than half the price of the 15000, can do just about everything, and I can lift them!!
P Enjoy! Ann
