Beautiful machine, maybe try to find a Janome web site ??

That's my backup machine!!!! I take it to guild classes. I had a new singer that my mother gave me after college in 1980. I struggled with that crappy piece of @#$, and finally took a hammer to it. Then I went to my local dealer around 1992, and he recommended this machine--took my singer on trade, said he'd use it for parts, but I'm sure he hauled it straight to the dumpster. Paid around $350 for it then. I still like it, nothing fancy, but works fine.

Fantastic find! Gotta love it...:)

Lucky Girls!!! You found each other!!!:thumbup:

my friend had a Kenmore that looked exactly like this and it used the same snap-on feet as my janome. Sears sells those same snap on feet. Try them
Great find! |

s to early 90's and you should find more info at a Janome dealer who has been in business that long! They were not on the open market, but I believe only sold through stores like Sears. It should take generic Janome/Kenmore parts. Wish we lived close by so I could test it for you. I have an older janome gem silver that is much like this! It takes all generic kenmore/janome feet/bobbins!
