    Default WooHoo! I got a new machine!

    I first want to thank all the ladies that sent in replies to all my question about the 8900 Janome, there we're very helpful but you guys are going to shake your head when you hear this.. LOL

    After going to two different dealers and looking at the Janome 8900 and sewing on it , I decided to go to one more dealer, this one was 72 mile from our house and after speaking to the dealer on the phone I really liked her and felt good about this dealer. When we got there and was looking around I notice she also sold Brother machines, I ask which was the better machine, she said they were both great machines the 8900 Janome and the DreamCreator VQ2400 Brother. The brother had a few things that were a little different on it then the Janome. One thing that I really notice was the light on the Brother it was so bright, now the Janome had a good light too but the Brothers was brighter. I also liked the walking foot with it's own motor in it and a few other things and seem it is very user friendly..

    Well make a long story short, I bought the Brother V series VQ2400..I paid 2699.00 and they gave me the extension table for half price and boy is it big 25 wide x 16 deep, the Janome 8900 was 2299.00 and that one came with the table... but I really like the Brother and am happy that I got it, just hope I have good luck with it...

    Again thanks to everyone that helped me decide which machine to buy..

    Congrats on the new machine! Having a dealer that you feel good about is as important as the good price.
