I have the little Janome. I think I paid about $150 for the machine and a carrying case. My only complaint is the foot petal. It doesn't always start the machine when you press it. You have to tap it a few times. That doesn't happen with my more expensive machines. I've never read a complaint like this and wonder if I'm the only one who is bothered by this. Other than that problem, the machine has many stitches and even came with a 1/4" foot. It is very light weight and I bought it for classes, but don't use it for that (the foot petal problem). Does anyone else have this problem? It makes it hard for youngsters to use.
