Since everyone is agreement that who ever is promoting a sewing company does not influence them in any way, shape or form...Does it really matter who the person promotiong is? The main purpose is to draw in new people to sewing and they are apparently going for the generations who did not grow up sewing. 20's-30's something are going to be more open to a younger rep who they can identify with.
I think it's sad that there has been 10 pages bashing Janome/Marie Osmond. I am a Babylock fan. I don't care if Nancy Zieman and Eleanor Burns represent them or not. IMO, Babylock products stand on their own. Just my personal opinion and if this offends anyone...Sorry.
My suggestion is to contact Janome and tell them you don't want Marie Osmond or any other person except Kaye Woods.
