Like you I feel so humbled that I was able to afford to do this for myself. It took me a little bit to unpack her and play with her. After her photo op on FB I finally picked up some fabric and played. Congrats to you and congrats to me.

I've had a pfaff expression 4 for 4 years and the janome runs rings around the pfaff. Of course there are some things I love on the pfaff like it'd for normal sewing and foot up and down... But the knee lift does that job also.<br />The 8900 quilts beautifully and has no problems with seams. The quilting foot is adjustable for different thickness quilts.<br />So far it unreal.<br />cristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03048747666570524519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-27157315730115245072013-01-07T16:45:07.552-05:002013-01-07T16:45:07.552-05:00I've enjoyed the Janome I bought last spring b...I've enjoyed the Janome I bought last spring based upon your recommendation, but I have missed the free arm feature. It makes set-in sleeves so tedious!

I let it sit and then once I took it out I hugged it. It was the nicest machine I ever had.

I know what you mean about not jumping straight into sewing on it. I bought a 2nd hand coverstitch machine and got it early December but haven't had time really to play yet and I'm a bit scared. I also thought I shouldn't have spent the money but after a few weeks of that I realised I have had my overlocker for 20 years and it gets used a lot over that time. I too would like to hear about all the features.Summer Flieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17092393256871735567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-38538284680370085052013-01-05T08:08:45.799-05:002013-01-05T08:08:45.799-05:00Happy new machine!Happy new machine!Reethihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08154089319915500996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-44935029500456320432013-01-05T05:40:17.766-05:002013-01-05T05:40:17.766-05:00She's a beautiful machine.
