Audrey - thank you for the information. Consumer Reports is so trustworthy. Have you read the article? Just wondered what they said.

Is this the March 2009 issue???

[AudreyB]

Yes, it is in the March issue. I just got it in the mail a couple of days ago. So it should be on the newstands now or very soon.

I have searched all over the internet for the Janome 6260 QC. I cannot find a price or anywhere to maybe order online! Any suggestions? I live fairly remotely and there is no where near me to actually go to a dealer.

I am on the hunt for a machine with the features this one has.

Thanks!

Beachrobin: You might go on line and find a dealer near you. enter the machine name and generally you will find a dealer somewhere close to you. E-mail them and get the information you want. Good Luck.
