We were not impressed with the Janome either. Lack of features and
convenience of usage were big factors against the Brother/BabyLock
machines,
As far as stitch accuracy the Janome $6K machine samples were no
better than the Brother $250 machine samples.
I like the training videos right onscreen on my Brother when I forget
how to do a blind hem stitch or other rarely done things.
