Janome Xpression

Well I have finally had time to try the Janome. All in all I like it. It was only a quick tryout, another one later perhaps, but it handled felt and fibres famously!

Nothing too strenuous for me at the moment, my emotions are elswhere (http://ssshhhitsasecret.blogspot.com)

Good to hear that some of you are accepting the challenge. Keep me posted with how you are getting on http://needlefeltchallenge.blogspot.com. Don't forget, it's open to owners of Babylock, Janome, Bernina - and any other machine etc

If you want a cautionary tale, have a look here. I can relate exactly to this story!

Too much excitement?

I am awaiting delivery of the new Janome embellishing machine. I am really looking forward to trying it and comparing it with the BabyLock. I have a feeling that there will be things that can be done with one machine that are difficult on the other. I have been trying the felting attachment with the Bernina. It certainly is different from the BabyLock.

All I need is time. I've started the 2nd book, and am working on projects for it. Practice the techniques in the first book - you will need the skills for the second!

Ooh, yes! They've promised me an 11000 too. Just want to get going, so maybe tomorrow.......
