I have read on other forums that Janome has come out with a longarm and frame for under $1,000. It would be great if true an affordable machine for those who just have their own projects that they have been sending out, an affordable machine to practice on to know if you really could do longarming and someday be able to afford a machine. I have a Janome heart and no complaints but limited on what I can do size wise on it. Just wondering.
