Looking to buy my first machine... (Janome)
I have done hours of research on what brand/machine to buy.
I'm based in Europe, so not all brands/machines are available to me. Buying a vintage machine is also not an option for me, as I've seen this suggested in the comments of most posts.
I have seen a lot of bad reviews on new singer and brother machines.
I have decided on a Janome machine, unsure of what model still... I would like to have this machine for the next 10 years, ideally.
I had first decided on the Janome Sewist 725; however, this machine has limited stitches. I know I don't 'need' the fancy ones, but with the machine being my only machine for the foreseeable I simply want them. (I have plans to use them even if it's not often 😅)
So I am now stuck between the 'Janome Mod 50' or the 'Janome 360 DC'.
Both machines are in my budget (€500 max), but have about a €100 difference.
I am very appreciative of any help... Thank you
