What a man. My Janome dealer now has the Tin Lizze. I was telling my husband the cost and he nearly choked on his coffee. He just has no idea of the cost of good equipment. Oh well, he did let me get the 9700 so I'm happy with that. He's a good man so I guess I'll keep him another 39 years. Congrats. Keep us informed on your decision. I would definitely try to find a dealer close.
