Gasp!!

I went into my local sewing machine shop today to buy some bobbins and found they had had a bit of a makeover. They now sell embroidery machines and the New Janome 15000 had pride of place. The gasp is because I now know how much it is! £6495 but you do get a free Ipad (LOL)

That is a large embroidery area! Do you have room in your neatly finished sewing room for this expensive treasure?

Wow!!! I don't even have a phone that will download an app. I guess I have some catching up to do. I haven't to UK since 1996 I do not have a clue how to convert. I remember in the 1980's if something cost 1 pound, it was about $2. Prices changed by the 1990's. I think the new Berninas are about $12,000. here in USA.

Thanks . What is the ratio? Is that about 1.644? Something near.

IDK it changes sometimes daily, so I just google it.

I love Bernina...but if I had that kind of money I would get a 6 needle brother and still have a lot to spend on accessories.

It is steep, I am looking at getting a 10 needle when my husband retires. But oh what you can do with these machines. So save your money and I do hope you manage to buy one eventually.

Hi Sue this looks mind boggling. The cost is more than a multi needle machine. Looks like you have Christmas, birthdays and any other special occasions that you need a present covered for the next few years. I have heard a little about the machine but did not know the price.

I have seen this machine being demo'ed at a local dealer...I think the I-Pad connectivity was cool, but not sure how much I would really use it...it is not compatible with the digitizing software...and with all of this hoop-lah around the new machine...I am dumbfounded that they are still using their antiquated cloth-setter for their design placement...what's up with that!!!

I really like the idea of sending designs wirelessly (no more cords or USBs) but I wonder if it will try to sew out documents sent wirelessly to a printer or vice versa.

I wouldn't trust that wireless part. As much trouble I have keeping my computer problems under control, I can just see my computer deciding not to work on the day I want to do ME. Not to mention all the new stuff on would have to buy if you don't already have all the tech needed to support the machine.

While I can't afford that price, I wouldn't mind paying so much for machines if they didn't get outdated so often that they are considered "obsolete" and they can't can't repair them.
