SumikoKeel, the Kenmore machines are made by Janome. One of my first machines was a Kenmore, which was a little workhorse for me. Then I became the owner of a New Home (Janome) Memory Craft 6000 and put her through the paces for over 20 years (still have her and pull her out occasionally, especially for the alphabet stitches). I also have a Pfaff Expressions machine, which is good, but shortly after I purchased her, the dealer quit her business and moved...and now I'm up a creek as to where to take the Pfaff for servicing!
