NZ sounds like you had a very special “ you” day
Janice I gave Janome’s. Had Bernina’s but really prefer my Jamomes. I have 5 and have bought 2 for my grand daughters. I have one high end, a serger, 2 traveling ones, one for Minnesota and one for Texas and an embroidery machine. I do take my big machine with me to Texas. Never had any problems with any of them.
Reba I will be going to Houston this year also. Maybe we can set up a meet and greet. Going to Texas early so I can join other quilters on a bus trip to Houston.
