Looks like a great machine. Janome bought out New Home some years back. I grew up with a New Home, and I have an older one now which I let my students learn on. It is not as new as yours. I don't know what you paid for it, but I'll bet you got a good deal for the machine. Keep it and use it. I'm sure you'll grow to love it.

For starters, I work for the local Old Sewing Machine Guy, so I'm always on the lookout for parts or refurb machines, so most go to him. Some I'll clean up and keep, then pass on to other people, typically people who are just getting started and need a decent beginner's machine (which may be this one's fate). A few get sold, like my last 15 clone. Some I keep because I like, although I have a fairly strict 'one in, one out' policy, which means if I keep this one, something else has to go. Everything (except the ugly brown Kenmore) that gets kept has to be used-that's my personal rule that keeps me (mostly!) from keeping things just because.
It's a fairly cheap hobby-certainly cheaper than my fabric habit! Passing them on to whoever lets me indulge-I get to pet to the nice machines, get them purring, then pass my sewing addiction on to someone else, along with the machine.

http://sewingwishlist.com/help/new-h...5-service.html that's the manual.
it's got a new number - ms 3015, which makes me think it's still available. i googled it and found a lot of sites that carry parts.

Karen: You have a Janome made machine lucky you! Now, if you will look at the front of the machine at the bottom, and pull gently where you see the seams, slide it to the left and inside that pocket should be some accessories. Great find and great machine. Enjoy! GiGi

lucky you for such a great find. i love my old new home that is older than that one .check with janome with questions and parts. my janome and new home can share the bobbins and all of the feet attachments. which is great to me cause i don't have to worry about separation of any of it. for my small space thats a good thing.
