Janome 8080 (same exact machine as Janome DC3050) sewing machine. I *love* this machine and would highly recommend it. It does everything I need it to beautifully, and haven't balked at anything I've put it through yet. I've had it 18mo or so. Of course I can't compare it to any TOL machine, but...
I also have a newly aquired Janome 634D serger, which I'm already in love with. Easy to thread and very user friendly. I have never (and I do mean never) used a serger before but it's either super easy or I was born to serge, LOL! The stitches are easy to adjust to perfection, the differential feed is responsive and it's simple & quick to switch it to "rolled hem mode".
