Well, after much deliberation, I went ahead and bought a Janome
6125QC. Do any of you talented ladies and gentlemen have any experience with this machine? I could have spent quite a bit more and gone for the Memorycraft, but I had to stay realistic about my finances and my actual sewing needs,so I went with the 6125QC.Gillian in SW Michigan.
Congratulations, Gillian! I don't know a thing about any of the Janomes, except that the brand is a good one. :) Enjoy your new baby!
Thanks, Sandy! I hope I made the right decision. I can't quite get the upper tension right yet, but I will work on that this evening when my four-year old goes to bed. I love how quiet this machine is!

Gillian, that's one of the lovely things about a good machine, isn't it? I noticed the same thing when I got rid of my machine from h*** about 35 years ago -- the new one was *quiet*! :D
Good choice on that machine. It, along with the 6119QC were the two that I was seriously looking at within that segment of the Janome line in that price range. The 6119 did not have quite as many stitches and it doesn't have the small computer screen and is a straight mechanical machine which is what I was looking for at the time. They both sew really well and you will be served well with your purchase. I have owned and used quite a few Janome machines and have never had a problem with any of them, and they sew wonderfully.

I have the 6500 and I was amazed at how quiet it was with the walking foot on! It's my first Janome, and I love it. . In message , Gothikka writes
I have the Memorycraft 9000 and love it. Not only is a Janome a great machine, the customer service is phenomenal! I had to call them several times for help in learning how to use some of the more "esoteric" machine functions and the people I spoke with were great. The first time (late Friday - early Saturday night), I sent an e-mail from their website. About 9:00 AM Saturday morning, someone was phoning me to talk me through the steps needed to get the machine to jump through the appropriate hoops. I have had equally superb customer service every time I have phoned. I've needed info on appropriate bobbins, a replacement free motion foot (mine broke in less than a year), and several other minor issues. Each and every time, I got great customer service and my questions were answered promptly, etc. Janome makes a great machine and offers primo service so I plan to stick with them next time I need a new machine.

Make sure it threaded correctly. I have a Janome and I threaded it wrong. When I looked closer at the diagram I found my mistake. I am still screwing up learning my new machine. I love the bobbin holds lots of thread. I always had to reload with my other machine.

I have had a Janome 6125QC for 2 years ,its a real work horse .I don't take out pins the machine walks right over them ( not a good idea ) I also sew at least 2 hours a day and do a lot of stippling .With mine I got the the quilting table ,couldn't sew with out it now .In my opinion its all you will ever need ,I love mine.Just don't ever put metal bobbins in it .Enjoy
