I wanted a new machine when I started sewing again a few years ago. I bought a small Janome which works fine and would be a great class machine. It hasn't been used but a few times as about 6 months later, I purchased another brand embroidery machine. There were frequent classes at the dealer's store to attend and learn the machine too. Over the years, four other machines have made their way into my sewing room. I like the similar features, buttons, etc across the different models so use these machines the most.
No regrets though I should consider selling the one not used.
