Guide Classes – Janome
One of the most important factors that should be considered when purchasing a machine, is the level of expertise you are gaining by purchasing a machine
from a dealer. We all too often have people come to us for guide lessons when they made the decision to purchase elsewhere. They chose a different dealer
because they got a “great deal”. We will gladly provide you with our guide lessons, the fee is $250.00 per class.
If you purchase from us, they are free for the life of the machine! You can’t get a great deal and great service. Those two things never go hand in hand. One always is sacrificed for the sake of the other. We offer everyday fair
prices so we can give you great service as we always have over the past 18 years!
Please choose wisely, we want you to get the most from your investment!
