I have a Janome 3050 DC and I love it!!
|
I have a Janome Memory Craft 4800 QC and I love it.
You should check out the Janome's offered on Amazon.com as they have several under $300. The Janome 2212 is only $179 and there's no shipping cost. It has 12 built in stitches and is kind of cute! http://tinyurl.com/asvf95r |
I think that any Janome you choose will turn out to be a workhorse. The bells and whistles tend to come along with other things like quieter sewing, but I have three Janomes varying in price and they are all great. Choose the model that has the best price with the most features and you won't go wrong.
HO, HO, HO. Your friend is lucky, Santa! |

I think the magnolias are good and reasonable, i think they sell them on overstock
|
I have two Janomes, a Memory Craft 11000 Special Edition and an AQS 25th Anniversary. I love both of these machines and recommend Janomes machines to anyone!
|
I only have Janomes too. Recently I bought the 7700 model LOVE IT I had used a Decor Excel model for nearly ten years and it only ever had services done to it (its now my back up machine) and I just bought my daughter a JR1012 model to learn on. I haven't had any problems with any of them. Would recommend janome to anyone.

I own 5 Janomes .... I wouldn't trade them anything. It's true they are workhorses and rarely need repair. Good luck and hope she can find one within her price range.
|
I've owned Janomes for years - decades actually, but who's counting. Love them. I think you get a lot more for less money with a Janome than you do with some other brands.
