Now here's a small matter that's been on my mind. How do you pronounce 'Janome'? I've always gone with two syllables, Ja-nome. I'm sure that's how the tutor-lady pronounced it in the shop, too. Just recently I've heard people (Americans on YouTube mostly ) using three syllables, Ja-no-mee.
As the machines used to be branded' New Home' the first option seems to make sense, but maybe I'm just wrong?
