Janome 15000 – A Huge Win

About a month ago, I woke up to an email stating that I had won the grand prize from a marketing survey that I filled out. The prize, much to my surprise, was a Janome Horizon Memory Craft 15000.  At first I was in complete shock and slowly it turned to denial. Then a week and a half ago I received a phone call from Janome telling me where I could pick up the machine, from my local Janome dealer – South Sound Sewing.

Winning this machine is such an incredible blessing and surprise. It is an embroidery, quilting and sewing combination machine and is even wi-fi enabled. It comes with an iPad mini that has 2 apps which are used to monitor the machine while it is stitching embroidery designs.  I have so much to learn.  One of the cool things about Janome, is that I come from a Janome family. I learned to sew on my mom’s Janome, I currently sew on a Janome Horizon 7700 and Anne is learning to sew on the same machine.

I thought it would be cool to have all three generations of sewing women together with the machine.

Janome 15000 - https://test.sewbittersweetdesigns.comI think the the dealer, Julie, was just as excited as I was about my win.  The cool thing is that I bought my Horizon from her, so I guess you could say I will be a continuing customer for years to come. I’m also very, very glad that they offer lessons on how to use this machine, because I know I will be needing them!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!!!
