Hi, I too have Janome machies, three of them. Bought my 8000 back in 1990, it diede in 2004, sent to to the factory 3 times, they never fixed the problem. Son, Jim bought me a 9000 in 2005 , this morning it died. I went ot embroider, it took 2 stitches and died. Will not turn on at all. I also have a Janome Gold. I love them all. But will be lost without my embroider machine. I am 76 and sew almost every day, make quilts for charity.

so sorry to hear this and you are lucky there was not a fire i cant believe that it is only4 months old and this happened, i would request a new machine telling the dealer that would make you more comfortable than using a machine that had such a problem thinking it could happen again

Take a deep breath and enjoy what you can of your day.

Back from the dealer (they were GREAT) and exactly as Gina says above, the motherboard had one component that failed. They took it all apart to show me and it is amazing how tiny the piece is- anyway, they will replace the motherboard within a few days and assure me it will be fine. Also got a nice loaner in the meantime!
I did express concern about the same problem happening again, and was told if there was any problem, the machine would be replaced. So I feel confident in trying the replacement motherboard.
AND, when I mentioned that my old Bernina 1010 wasn't working (reason I bought this machine), they said to bring it in when I come to pick up my machine and he will try to fix it free! It would be great to have a backup machine!
Thank you all for support and suggestions- nice to have friends who understand how important a sewing machine can be!

Hi, thanks for writing. I love to sew always have. I started quilting with my mom when I was five years old. We of course hand quilted. She did have a treadle machine, which I now have. I make quilts for a group who gives them to shelters, World Relief and for people who are homeless. Also make them for an Evangelist in Montana who gives them to kids at CHristmas. I do take time every Wednesday to work at our local food pantry. I have been looking on this site for several years but after reading about the ladies Janome burning decided to join. I love communicating with other quilters.

I'm sure that your dealer will take good care of you.
