After dithering and waffling and making a choice and changing my mind about it, I finally settled on a Janome 8200. It's on order, and should be here Friday. It might be a little more machine than I need, but if it works as well and as long as my original Janome (13 years and still going strong), I think it will be a good investment. (I also got a Brother serger that I've been thinking about for a while; it came yesterday, and I'm trying to work up the nerve to give it a try.)
