Baby Lock Jazz ??
Last night I had planned to piece a practice block : however, my 4 year old Viking Emerald 118 remained silent as I pressed the foot pedal. Nada, zilch, no sound at all not a peep or a squeak . Went thru checklist: power cord attached, foot pedal attached. Checked electricity in power strip ( yup power is on). Clean bobbin area . Still nothing. Agggh, this is/was my workhorse machine.
I do have a Janome Horizon 12000 but frankly I only like using it for appliqué and embroidery - not piecing. It's a feel thing with piecing for me. My back up is a New Home 8000 ( end of life and no longer repairable) but it is a backup although computerized.
so here I ponder...should I even consider a new machine such as the Jazz? It has a 12 in throat and is not computerized ( nice) ...I plan to take my Emerald to the repair shop ( Plan A) . Plan B will be to explore a new machine. Has anyone tried out the Jazz? Thanks
