As someone said previously......Janome is Not an “off brand” ...I own 5 Janomes. If you have enjoyed your Janome so far, look at the other models of Janomes to determine if they have the features you want. There is no “best brand”...the brand and model that you are comfortable using is the best one for you. The Janome website makes it easy to compare models, features and MSRP pricing side by side. Ask for the best price you can negotiate. No one pays MSRP. Ever. The markup on the more expensive models have room to negotiate. Thinking $3,000 msrp and up.
I find it very helpful to do my research on the websites ...print out the model and features...etc and make a file to take shopping with you. Join Facebook groups that are brand specific. Ask questions, read reviews....have fun!
