fruitloop Hi, Not all upgrades to high end, top of the line machines is $700 or more. Just wanted to say that since this is a discussion about the newest Janome M7, I wanted to let you know that I bought the Janome 15000 in 2014, they had an update in 2017 that included ruler foot capabilities and a ruler foot, several other feet including a specialized 1/4 inch foot and plate, an update to the Horizon Link digitizing software, and a couple of other things, I forget what all was included in the update but the cost to me was an optional 150.00. I chose to get the upgrade because it kept my machine up to date and it was well worth the cost of 150.00. Can't speak about other brands as I have only had Janomes since I started back sewing in 2005 after I retired.
