    Here's my two cents about embroidery-only machines: You are working from a tiny screen on the machine, which isn't easy to see. If you have the option of an embroidery module attachment, which generally requires the use of a laptop computer, it's less convenient to have to use the laptop, but much easier on the eyes because you have a larger screen to work with, and better control with a larger keyboard. I hope I'm understanding your question.

    in regards to the being obsolete due the new win 7 or vista, at least where Bernina is concerned, they have downloads to take that problem away. In speaking with Pfaff dealership here locally, she can really use sall the machines, but to ask her a question pertaining to the downloads or something in that nature.. she actually couldn't answer me. Which I thought was surprising. But went on line to pfaff.com and was able to get infor I needed. so before writing something off as obsolete (unless your really looking for a legitamite reason to buy a new one) double check on the company's website first. There are a lot of downloads and up grades that are avilable for no cost. Now if I could just program a spell check into the boards messaging system.... back to the old dictionary for me I guess..

    Definitely check out the Horizon. I participated in a "test drive" at the local dealer in May and am trading in my MC9700 for it. It has a bed space about twice the size of the standard domestic and tons of decorative stitches. Built in accu-feed instead of a walking foot attachment. Give it a test run; you'll love it.

    Try this, it can't hurt. Just in case the motherboard is ok....

    Reset the new home janome

    Use the plastic cover on a ball point pen…..plastic only.

    Turn machine off, unplug foot.

    Push all the 3 buttons by the needle at once and hold, while turning machine on..

    An x will appear on the screen. Press x with plastic tip, keep pressing x until it disappears. A red light will come on , on the decorative stitch side. Press with plastic tip, x will again appear on screen. Keep pressing x again until it disappears. Shut machine off.

    Do this three times and turn machine off, then on again. Machine is factory aligned again

    So sorry you're having trouble with your mother board. I bought an embroidery machine, used, a few years ago. i have put lots of $$$$ (more than $1000) on classes and software so I could get to the point of doing embroidery projects on my own. Not sure I would chose to do this again knowing the amount of money I would continue to spend. Take a look at embroidery software just for starters, to get an idea of what I am talking about. Hope you let us know what you final choice is. :-D :-D
