I bought my Janome about 3 years ago and I love it. I was doing hand quilting and was trying to get them done before doing alot on the machine. But now! I have made purses and bags, put in Zippers, made botton holes, meandering,and.......... Any way you get the picture. I love it. I want to get a embrodery machine and don't know what I want or to buy. I will keep looking until I make up my mind. I just have to try out a few and determine what price I want to pay. Still love my Janome!
