Thank you for your thoughts! Lyric, I’m kinda with you on the Janome...and also with you Patrice
. I know they are well loved but I had such a problem with the Horizon 7700 that I bought when it first came out that I think that experience has made me doubt how much I’ll enjoy a new Janome even though others have enjoyed Janome’s bought in the last five years or so. So, today is test sewing day with my own materials on the Brother. My local Janome dealer doesn’t have a Skyline for demo! Depending on how it goes with the Brother, I may drive further afield just to test the Janome.
