HI - could you please confirm the exact model of the Janome 1600P included here. I want to purchase the free motion convertible kit and darning plate. Is it the 1600P, 1600P-DB or 600P-DBX. I also want to make sure I have correct needles and bobbins. Thanks.
SandyLucasGreat - very excited to have my order delivered.
And sorry to ask again: but will the 1600P-QC include everything that is listed on their website: http://janome.com/en/machines/sewing/1600p-qc/It indicates the machine includes a darning plate for free motion quilting, which is essential to use on the SR2.

SandyLucas@sunnyrobin - Sandy - If you look back at my comment thread, you will see that I brought this up before I purchased the Janome 1600P - the website lists a darning plate as included in the model and in fact you confirmed that it would include the darning plate. To be honest it makes absolutely no sense to sell a machine to put on a long arm frame without the darning plate and free motion foot. As you cannot lower the feed dogs on this machine, you can't use the machine on the Grace Frame without these 2 essential tools.
Here is the list of key features of the Janome 1600PQC from their website, which you can find listed at: http://janome.com/en/machines/sewing/1600p-qc/
High speed straight stitch-only
Remote thread cutter operation compatible via socket
Industrial HLx5 needle
Highly responsive foot control
Vertical, two spool thread delivery
Darning plate included for free motion quilting
I have now opened my machine and there is NOT a darning plate included in the box. I am extremely disappointed. Please discuss this with Janome as I feel this is false advertising on their part.
mstarkmanHi Marlene,
I apologize for the confusion. I am checking in with the vendor and should hear back tomorrow as they are on the East Coast and gone for the day.
Hang tight and I'll get this resolved.
SandyLucasHi @mstarkman,
Janome is going to be sending out the darning plate and foot tomorrow. There was a mix up on their end and they are taking care of it for everyone.
mstarkmanNo, I won't have a tracking number but Janome is a great vendor. They always follow through and I'm sure it's being prepared at their warehouse as I type this. :-)
