So, I finally got my 12000 end of Jan and for the most part, like it better than the 11000. I find there are steps to this machine though that are a little bit more fussy so steps can't be overlooked

I don't think Janome has any special bonuses at this time, but you can certainly ask your dealer for extras. There are a large number of extra feet available for the 12000, and any feet you already

This may be the site you are looking for, but it looks like it's too late: http://www.janomespecials.com/f2f-facebook-challenge/

Are they offering a bonus in the US with a purchase at this time? I am heading out to the dealer today to buy, I hope. I want to thank everyone who posted, I also watched every video I could find and

Elaine mentioned that on the Janome website there is a “friend to friend” section. Can anyone tell me where that is? Julie

Hi Happy Camper! Sorry you feel that you have been "jumped on" - Iam sure that none of us meant you to feel like that. Yes, we didmisunderstand your message, but were only trying to make the

There’s no way really of knowing. There was a sale on Craigslist for a Horizon 7700 last year for less than half list price. Turns out it was from an estate sale. Person bought the machine, person

I would not touch any offer on eBay like this, the price is far too cheap. What if the seller is selling you stolen goods. IF that is the case you could end with nothing, a machine reclaimed by the

Some of those eBay machines don't actually exist, either. When you see a brand new TOL sewing machine on eBay, it's usually a sure sign something isn't exactly kosher., and feedback is easy to

No need to hide, no one is jumping here! Your point about eBay is a good one, but even there one must use caution. The problem is that what is said in the listing isn't always true. I expect that

Sorry but my message has been misunderstood...I was not for one minute suggesting the OP buy a machine out of country, I was merely suggesting she/he might check eBay and used this machine as an

KRIS I too live near Gympie. Will also have to contact my "dealer" who I would assume is same as yours . I have been away so that is ok. Did you get the two extra embroidery discs? I did so am

The only thing you would gain, other than the hoops, is the ability to send a design directly to the machine or USB. If Embird has met your needs up to now, then I would recommend you stick with it.

While we are on the subject, would there be any advantage in buying Digitizer Junior if I already have Embird, except for the fact that Embird doesn't yet contain the 12000 hoops?

I can't speak for Janome, but I seriously doubt it. Digitizer Junior is really designed as a tool for converting formats and doing very low level digitizing. At our store we routinely gave it away

Judy, The upgrade to Version 3 is the new version 4. I don't believe that Janome will be adding anything new to version 3 now that the new one is here. Cheryl

There is no issue of metric tools vs imperial. ALL Janome products use the same metric screws, which have been the standard in Japan for many, many years. A machine made for Australia will differ from

Judy-Jr4 has the 12000 hoops. Beyond that I can't say because I didn't have jr3. -- Vicki Jo Subject line says it all. Thanks in advance. Judy

is there going to be an upgrade to ver 3? cost or no charge upgrade? guess which I prefer? Judy

There is also the question of power supply -Australia has 240V alternating current but I believe the USA uses direct currentat a lower voltage, so would I be right in thinking that a voltage reducer
