I love my FW, my 301 even more but I need my fancy Janome for so many things. I am happy I have them all. 2 years ago bought my self a lighter weight, but computerized machine for the long weekends when I might need ZZ or want to free motion. I bought another Janome so he bobbins fit and with the idea my then 5 yr old GD would get it. I have not bonded at all with it. It's just too light and the stitches are awful! My sewing room is set up with 3 machines. Piecing on the 301 and everything else on the 8200.
