I love janome new home brand, and have many sewing/combo machines from thus company for near 30 years.. I honestly bought this just for the color. It is my least cost machine,but it is so simplified that I know it will be more than a pretty knickknack for me. You can just feel it is well made and solid. I have no doubt that it will work fine. Oh..did I say...the color is gorgeous!! Beachy decor.
