Hi and welcome. This is a fun place to play or just hang around. Try the chat room sometime.
I have a Janome Gem Silver and a Janome 6600. Love them both and have had no problem with either. The 6600 has a great detailed book that is a big help, especially when you have to travel a great distance. I gave my Gem Silver to my grand daughter when she became pregnant. Bought a Bernina 210 to take to class at church. I like it, but really like the Janomes better. Hope this helps.
