I have several Janome machines. My best and hardest worker is a Janome 7500 Memory Craft produced approx. 20 years ago. I have since purchased a Janome 300E embroidery machine. fantastic machine. I also have a Janome 8077 that I use when I need a machine to take with me. This machine has some nice new features I like. BUT, I have a Janome 1600P on a Grace frame. This machine is made for straight sewing and not motion sewing. If you would like to purchase my Janome 1600P I would make you a good deal so that I would have extra money to buy a Juki. I have friends with both machines and no one has had problems with the Jukis, only the Janomes.
