I got the same story, can only get $2,000 on the brand new $11,000 I just bought to trade on a 12,000.
I played with the 12,000 a little bit yesterday. It's easy to do free motion quilting on it. It does have better lighting. I don't think there is enough change in the software to justify the upgrade.
I got three hoops with my machine. The magna hoop is 7.5" by 10". I think that's a nice size. sewingmachinesplus tried to sell me the little one for $99, not telling me I already have one.
I can buy vs. 3.0 for the 11,000 but I don't know if it is much different. I am hoping some peeps that have Janome machines will chime in.
Funny, the same, non-supportive
