I only have a simple Janome sewing machine and a basic Janome over

I did a quick google for your machine, WOW, it looks fantastic! Beats
the crap out of my simple Janome US2022 which is just dead simple to

Hi Jane,
Greetings from soggy Fauquier County!
My best friend just bought a Bernina 440QE which she is very happy
with. She had an early model Pfaff and another Bernina but they gather
dust now that she has this one.

extension arm of some kind and she can program it up via her PC to do al
kinds of embroidery and quilting.
I just after a new machine myself but just something basic.

The lady sitting next to you also has a nice dress on, would a hoop be a
suitable addition for it?
