Janome vs. Brother
#14
I have the Janome 7700 and love it. But I do have to make sure I'm using good quality bobbins. I've tried some of the prewound ones that come on plastic bobbins and find that some of them just don't perform right.
You might also want to try the "Bobbin Genie" washers. I hear they help.

The bobbins don't stay solidly in place like they should. They sort of bounce up and down. I do get the Error messages often. Then I remove the throat plate and clean the lint out. A real pain. I may have "new machine fever" because I also have "new car fever". Thanks.

Sherry, I have a Janome 9000 that I've had since they first came out. I love it for FMQ & even piecing. But I have a Babylock Esante that I got last year that I love! It was pricey even during a big promotion. Before I bought either one I visited local shops & took time to "play" on them in the store. Good luck
