I hope you held onto your Pfaff, that is, if it has IDT. I've had my Pfaff 1472 for about 30 years, and more and more I appreciate the IDT for long seams. I've yet to FMQ on it, but my really old Pfaff 260 is good for slow and steady FMQ. Congratulations on bringing home the Janome. I've liked every Janome I ever used, from the Gem Silver, Gem Gold & on up.
As for IDT, the patent Pfaff had on that ran out a couple of years ago, and all machines now have a version of it.

Great choice, Lynda. I'm sure the models you considered were all fine machines. I love my 8900, and find quilting on it is so much fun. If you've never had a Janome Horizon line machine, my best advice is to only use well wound bobbins. That is the one thing my Janomes have demanded of me. If I do my part, my Janome does its job beautifully.
