Machines are expensive. I love Janomes. I have one that I can't believe I bought it cost so much and 2 other small ones that are much cheaper. They are great machines. I highly recommend them.
the small ones don't have the auto thread cutter and I can't say that I have FMQd on the small ones.. because I just go to my big machine for that. They do have the auto needle threader
Amazon does have my smaller machines for $399... but I have only bought from my local Janome dealer. I don't know how a machine handles being shipped - - - but I guess they had to be shipped to my local shop
