Well, I finally did it......got a Janome. Don't know why I never got one before. Not as fancy as the Husquvarna, but sew smooth, has enough quilting stitches to placate that quilting bug. Not an overly havy machine, which is good, but has good weight to not move around on the table. The light is nice and bright, the thread cutter is located at the side ( something I have to get used to......) and the bottom plate is clear, so you can see if you are running out of thread, rather than guessing.
Well laid out. Easy to understand modes for sewing. So the Husquvarna is getting cleaned up and will be sent to the local quilting store for sale , on consignment. The ladies who run the store said they often have people in who are looking for them, and I should get a good price. Janome is really easy to thread, great thread guide ( that actually works) and comes with tons of bobbins that wind incredibly fast. I like the fact that you can choose how fast you want to sew....the little insignia at the middle portion shows a turtle, going all the way to the bunny ( I kind of sew like a bunny.....zoooom)
Janome is all computerized, but in a manageable way. Still have to push the panel pretty hard to make them change back and forth, but I think that's because it is brand new. Best feature is that there is a manual lever for moving the pressure foot....and the machine does not start automatically. A lot safer.
