Frustration abounds
Even though you can't see this, I'm doing the Macaulay Culkin Face from Home Alone when he applies cologne to his tender face. I'm grabbing my face and screaming. My Janome 6500MC won't zig-zag. Any decorative stitch that requires a light/left stitch is messing up. I'm ready to throw it out the window and buy a different machine. It was in the repair shop 2 hours away back in September for about the same reason! I want needle up/down ,zig-zag, and a good serpentine stitch for starters. We have BabyLoc here in town, but that's about it. Can you give me names of other machine I might want to look at. Thanks!
