"In Japanese, the word Janome (pronounced Ja-NO-me) means "eye of the snake." The company earned the name in the 1920s when founder Yosaku Ose, a pioneer in Japanese sewing manufacturing, began to use a round metal bobbin system instead of the traditional long shuttle. The Japanese thought the new round bobbin looked like a snake's eye, and from the innovative design, a name was born."
I found this on their website. Ja is "snake", no is "of", and me means "eye." Same meaning as eye of snake, but different word order.

Why do some teachers have to bad mouth any machine that is not their personal favorite? Certainly turns me off. We all have our preferences just like we all have our quirks
