Will keep you posted!

Took me a while to get a rhythm going but once you figure it out is is easy.

I really need to stop and shorten that thing so I won't have to cuss at it so much.
Thanks,

I thought they were Janomes. The machines were in new oak cabinets. Treadleon says Janome doesn't make a cabinet, but the community has a furniture factory so making a cabinet would be no problem. My daughter just had her hickory kitchen cabinets made by that community.

Thanks for information on machine, so it's not a rare one or anything?
