Thank y’all for your help! Now just a follow-up question in my mind. A few years ago somebody bought a sewing machine for me and they did their research and everything and picked out a Janome machine that looked really good. Then, searching around for the best price, they ended up buying it from Walmart. Let’s just say that this machine was less than satisfactory 🙂 Everything that could go wrong with it, did, and I hardly use it because it is just a pain. That made me curious, and after doing some research I discovered that Janome makes lesser-quality machines for Walmart even though they have the exact same model number and name as Janomes bought anywhere else. This has made me wary and just a little more discreet in buying quality items from a “middle man” company. Do y’all have any thoughts on this or helpful experience to share? Thank you so much!
