I have just joined and am so glad to have found this group as I am considering getting the 12000.  I havent owned a Janome before I have a Brother and a Husqvarna Viking. There isnt much info on the machine at the moment so I would appreciate it if you could answer something for me?  How do you align/join large embroidery designs as this is one of the main features I am looking at on these top end machines.
