 So this happened  thanks to my lovely husband - a few days ago my trusty Janome 6600p died after 15 years of solid work. Yes gary pulled it apart but the motor was seized. He told me he knows how much sewing means to me so told me to go and buy a new one - so meet Sylvia (cos it’s part silver 😆) a shiny brand new Janome 6700P - here’s to the next 15 years or so!
