What other sewing machine brands does Janome make?
I heard that alot of the old Swiss made sewing machines have been bought by other companies. Does anyone know who makes what? Elna & Kenmore made by Janome? Singer by Juki? Bernina? Viking? Ok I know those all aren't "Swiss" companies but I'm just curious. Looking into buying a machine and just doing research. So recommendations on brands, etc. would be appreciated. I'd call myself a beginner since it's been 15yrs+ since I've used a machine and I only plan simple projects like blankets, pillow, drapes, etc. (for now.) So basic is fine.Been considering some used Vikings & Elnas, & new Kenmore, budget under $175. Thanks.
I have heard that the same company now owns Singer, Viking and Pfaff. Janome makes Kenmore and I believe Elna. Berninas are still made by Bernina in Switzerland, but the Bernette line is made in Asia and their sergers are made by Juki.
Berninas are a great machine but expensive. Within your budget I would buy a Kenmore because they are a bit cheaper than the equivalent Janome, or find a vintage all metal machine which is strong and will keep going indefinitely if maintained properly.
