My "Zippy" is a Janome 1600P QC and I LOVE her. She's my best friend. We are together every day, one happy duo. She will only straight stitch but she does it at lightning speed. She mostly grins instead of talking when I put the pedal to the medal! Because she's more of a professional model, I clean and oil her every time I change the bobbin. She's happy I am so busy with her and makes my life easier. She'll fill bobbins while sewing, self threads, knee lifts, reverses, and has a reliable auto thread cutter. I love her so much I wish I could give her oil filled chocolates!
