I went to buy the Janome 2000CP and came back with the Brother one , sorry can't remember the number. It's's a 5 thread machine, 3 needles and 2 loopers AND t comes with a clear foot AND it has markings on the bed to help with hemming etc. It's not been any trouble, in fact I've not needed to alter any preset settings yet despite sewing knits, wovens both thick and fine.
