I purchased my Janome 8900 at MQX. I was the first one to use the new machine in a FMQ class. They told us the machines would be offered at a great deal and could be picked up on the last day of the show...but having explained that I was leaving that afternoon and lived 3 or 4 hours away, they packed up the new machine and I was able to take it home with me so I had been the only student on the machine. Plus the Janome rep gave me extra feet, bobbins and a stand-up thread spool.
