If you don't mind, a couple of questions. What all do you do on your machines - quilt, sew, embroider? Why do you prefer the Janome? I really appreciate your input. Also, would the fact that that there is no local dealer sway you one way or the other? My Bernina dealer is 5 minutes away, my Babylock 25 minutes away, and a Janome dealer 1 1/2 hours away. For some reason, Janome dealers don't seam to be as plentiful in my part of the country.
