when i was 14 my dad bought me a necchi that he couldn't afford. i loved it for many, many, many years. i literally wore it out. those 33-yr-old quilts were started on that necchi. it was replaced about 20 yrs ago by the janome/new home 8000. it s a workhorse. never had a problem. ten years ago i added the viking #1. also a great machine, but not as nice as the janome.
if you ever have another chance to get one, run, don't walk.

I bought my first NewHome in 1985. It is still in my garage. I plan on taking it in to have a complete service done on it. It is the BEST machine. About 12 years ago I bought a NewHome 8000. Love it. Last year I bought a Babylock but I still rather sew on myNewHome.
One other thing my serger is ( you gussed it) a New HOme.

I wouldn't trade my New Home for anything.

I had a New Home and loved it..... If I am correct New Home is now Janome......... which I now have and love that machine too... Don't have the New Home anymore as I wore it out. Go for it.... you will like the machine.

I have been sewing on a New Home Class Mate S650 since the late '80s. It has never been serviced and still runs good. I went to the dealer in a near by town today to see what they had in an older manual New Home. I found an older manual, it is a New Home L-737. Bought it on the spot...now I have a "new" old machine. It sews great, and fits in my sewing machine cabinet just like my old Brothers and the old New Home Class mate.
Now I can put off buying one of the electronic one for several years.

I have the New Home 8000 and love it. When the grand kids were little they called it the magic machine as it could make pictures! Well we still use it and my grand daughter is 20 now and wants it when I retire it. I have other machines but the kids love this the best and you can imagine the use it gets.

Yes, New Home is now Janome.
If anyone knows where I can get a copy of a user's manual for my L-737 I would appreciat knowing. At the store I got mine from, there was an old manual close by it, so we assumed it was the correct one, but when I got home and needed to look something up, it wasn't the right manual.
