Isn't she so pretty! I can't wait to try her out and see how she purrs. {squeel!}
I love Janome machines! My first machine was a Janome Jem and I still have her. She is great for beginners, so she is hanging around for the kids to learn on her. Then I upgraded to an MC6500 which she was my go to machine for almost 9 years. She is still running strong and will still come out to play with MC8900 QCP when she is needed. But for now she is going to give her gears a little rest. She just tends to have a little trouble with clothing since she doesn't have a very small arm to get around at the base. Now, the MC8900, she will be able to do it all!
Now for a name?? I have never named my sewing machine before... but this one needs a name. Any suggestions? Ah... while were at it, why not name all three machines... Gotta be fair, right?
Congrats! I got the 8200 a month ago and I'm in love!
ReplyDeleteso -- I name everything, and here are my rules for naming (please feel free to use your own)....1. She is a girl. Always. Cars are female, sewing machines too! 2. I like alliteration, so I have Agnes Accord (Honda) and Helen Husquavarna (who would have been Virginia Viking had she been "born" a year later)...so, for yours, I like Jackie, Josephine, and Jasmine.....
ReplyDeleteHow exciting!! I like names that go together :) My machine was Bernie the Bernette but then I got a longarm so their names are Laverne & Shirley now!
ReplyDeleteDang now I want to go check her out!!!!
ReplyDeleteI thought Glenda (you remember the good glistening witch from WIzard of Qz?! Such a beauty!) how she glistens!
How about "Sophia"? or "Sophie" Pun intended!
ReplyDeleteIt is good to be read your post Janome MC8900 QCP and who else will read it he will definitely get many more.
ReplyDeleteA primeira fusca,a segunda honda e a terceira ferrari.Parabéns por tuas máquinas, tenho algumas fusca também e algumas singer.
ReplyDeleteI love Janome too! That machine looks lush.... saving my pennies for one of those!
ReplyDeleteSo, do you like it? I'm trying to decide what my next machine will be, and this one is on my list...:) fun seeing you and hanging out a bit at QuiltCon. Xoxo
ReplyDeleteJust splurged on a new 8900qcp last month and am working on getting to know her. After sewing on a Bernina for the past 17 years and a Kenmore for 20 years before that, it's kind of like driving a new model of car, and very exciting!
