As we expected, the new Janome model was "outed" on the Internet yesterday. Janome now realizes they can't keep it completely under wraps until May 1, so they've released a picture:



You can get more information as Janome releases it on this web page. We will be getting trained on the machine next month and will have a preview event on Saturday, May 1. Save the date!

After a long and cold winter, spring is once again in the air. We're more than ready and while we're waiting for the flowers to pop up, we've got some new arrivals from Janome to enjoy. We've just received our first shipment of new models 2160DC and 3160QDC. They have been introduced as part of Janome's observance of their 150th anniversary. The New Home Sewing Machine Company started in 1860, which relates to the "60" in the new model numbers. That also represents the number of stitches on each of these models. Other great features include 6 levels of pressure adjustment, full computerization with needle up/down, speed control, and a very nice LCD screen that is easy to read and navigate. Both of these models weigh just 12 pounds, the same as the JEM series of ¾ size machines. However, due to a breakthrough in manufacturing, these models are FULL size. Both models have a START/STOP button, allowing them to be used without a foot control.

	2160DC	3160QDC
Features	This model is great for home decorating, garment construction, and craft sewing. The stitch package is appropriate for all types of sewing. A soft vinyl cover is included.	Quilters will love this model, which comes with the 1/4" foot, open toe foot, and extension table packed right in the box. It also features a built-in thread cutter that can be programmed to snip the threads at the end of a seam. Hard shell cover included.

There is another new model coming in May, aimed at quilters. Janome is revealing nothing about this machine, other than the fact that it will have more features than the 6600P. We will be hosting a "coming out" party for this model on May 1. Mark your calendars!

The October, 2009, class schedule is now available on our website. Memory Craft Club members may be disappointed that we are not having a club this month. Unfortunately that weekend is also Quilt Market, and we will be going to Houston to shop for the latest and greatest. Jan and Sharon will be in the store on Saturday the 10th, which would have been club day. If you mention the secret word "Market" to them, they'll give you your club discount even though there is no club!
