My husband bought this machine second-hand from a gentleman who had lost his wife. It was new out of the box, so I didn’t get the training as buying it directly from Janome. I really didn’t know what I was getting. I hadn’t used it very much until I retired last year. I’ve become a quilter and use it daily. It does have extras. I’m making a “Stitch-Bible” of the 213 stitch patterns it has and I’m using the embroidery functions now to make my quilt labels.
It does have a beautiful stitch and I enjoy using it daily. A wonderful machine!
