New $199 Janomes being advertised

New $199 Janomes being advertised

Postby goose » Sat Jul 09, 2011 1:13 pm

Has anyone seen these in real life? I saw an ad on tv for them just a few days ago. I have a few friends wanting to learn to sew, and some want to buy a new but not too expensive but reliable sewing machine, so was wondering about checking these out.

yeah they were advertised as being sold at janome outlets. hmmmm, might have to go check them out. I'll probably end up with a 'back-up' machine for myself at that price :smt044
