Well I did it, I traded my Janome 9000 in for a Janome 1100 Special Edoition. I have just been reading the instruction book and it is going to take me a long time and a lot of practice to master this. I will take a class but right now I think it does everything but cook dinner. Does anyone else have this machine and how do you like it?

I'm sewing on my 9000 today and will be for a few weeks. My newer, main machine is in for its yearly service. I've enjoyed my 9000, but can understand why you'd want to upgrade to the new TOL machine. I'm sure you'll love all the new features.

I just bought the 11000 Special Edition. I used it to embroider a ladybug today. And you're right, it is quite the machine!
