Date: 8/22/12 3:07 PM I've read/heard comments here and elsewhere that Janome is about to bring out something new and wonderful...rumored to be in September?? I am repeating what I read (don't remember where) so take it with a grain...but another Horizon-like machine?? It'd seem more likely to me they'd upgrade the 9500/9700 as they are very old news but the others are pretty current!! Anyone know something reliable about this? |

I have heard that too.. probably here on PR.. and much speculation about a model with a much larger embroidery field.. Maybe they might get serious about competing with the TOLs already out on the market. |

Date: 8/22/12 4:21 PM The Elna dealer says there is a new Elna comin' out.
When she first hinted at it about a month ago, she was indicating it would be more expensive.
Then I asked her if Elna was coming out with something that would compete with the Janome 12000 - and she said "no" - that it wasn't an embroidery machine.
No matter what comes out... I'm glad I got the deal I got on my 7700 this week.

On my radar someday: Babylock Serger, and some machine for travel.
My dearest wish is to have Bernina come out with a machine that doesn't give me a reason to *not* buy it.
2012: New Elna Lotus (mostly for granddaughter), Red Elna Press, Horizon 7700, Gidget 2 Table, Babylock Ellisimo Gold

Date: 8/22/12 5:53 PM Maybe its a stripped down version of the 7700...you know for years we've had the 6500/6600 ...both very similar. But if you say it's more expensive then i wonder what else could be added to the horizon? Maybe low-bob and hover! a few more stitches? i do think their sewing-only TOL models prior to this one had more stitches on board. very interesting to speculate about!!
ETA: seems like janome normally does the teasers on their website, etc...but not this time. -- Edited on 8/22/12 5:54 PM -- |

Date: 8/23/12 2:08 PM Well....
The one thing I'm surprised that we are not seeing is a sewing machine (not embroidery) that has a USB port and the ability to create/load more decorative type stitches.
I can see something like this coming out - and having a hefty price tag. ------ nightowlsally.com
