Who manufactures what????
I am in the process of researching a new machine. I have always been a die hard Janome fan but after ANOTHER unpleasant interaction with my local Janome dealer, I am opening myself up to the idea of going with another brand. I only say this as the next closest Janome dealer is over 2 hours away and the area that we are eventually going to move to out of state it will also be over 2 hours. I know that I will be taking test drives of any machine that I am interested in; too much money at stake to go in blind!
I found this article and I was suprised by some of the information. I know that others may be ahead of me in the game of "who owns what" but I found the article informative. It is dated 2/2008 so there might be newer information. I found it amusing that this gal sent her husband on a fact finding mission and he jumped in with both feet. http://www.evidently.org/2007/02/too-much-information/ |
A very informative article. Thanks for sharing. FYI - I do like my Viking. Do some preliminary homework on warrenties. Even though my Viking now 18 years old never needed ANY work ( exception a periodic cleaning) , it was nice to know if something serious went wrong it was going to be covered.

Thanks for the information! It was very interesting and somewhat depressing. Is it too much to ask for good quality goods at a decent price without outsourcing? Knowledge is power so I am now armed!

Everyone should read this article even if you already have a machine. Good information here. Valuable information here.

I do love my Vikings, however there are many great machines out there! So sorry about your dealers, I have been doing business with my Husquvarna Viking dealer since the 80's and they are just wonderful! However that is not to say all Viking dealers would be like this. I guess you will have to shop around. Good luck!!!!!!!!

Thank you for the article. Some good info to read. It never hurts to know!

This article really helped my confused mind about a new machine! Thanks for the link!

Thank you, that answers a lot of questions I have had. So glad I still have my 1958 Singer 401A. The newer ones come and go but she is the one I use the most and will keep her always.

Have you considered reporting your dealer to Janome? They cannot afford to have dealers like that.
