I found a deal on a refurbished Janome on overstock so I went for it This baby will be mine soon! Very excited to try it out, as my cheapo Singer really is a piece of crap (makes me sad to admit it, as I grew up using my mom’s  nigh-indestructible Singer).

Guess I need to sell the one I have soon, too.  It’s not a bad machine for easy stuff, but at the level I’m sewing now it just doesn’t suffice.
