Search for 2nd machine
I have been using my Janome 8900QCP exclusively for two years since my 20yr old Singer Quantum bit the dust. I now want a 2nd machine for piecing so I don’t have to keep rotating between my FMQ set-up and my piecing set-up. I also would like to reduce the wear and tear on the Janome as I am not planning on replacing it.....ever (famous last words).
I looked into used on Kijiji and other resale sites but in many cases I can buy new for close to the same price as used.
I have spent hours online and can’t make up my mind. I have Bernina and Janome dealers fairly close however they only stock higher end models.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a machine? Ideally no more than $500 Cdn ($375US). Really want a thread cutter, otherwise don’t need a lot of fancy options.
Thank you!
