Hi. If you had to make a choice between these machines, which would you choose?
1. Quest Plus $1599.00 2. Q Choice Pro $999.00 3. Janome Memory 6600P $1395.00 4. Janome Horizon 7700 $3000.00 5. Innovis QC1000 $1795 Also, our local sewing center has the Crown Jewel on sale for $7695.00 (they say it's regular $11,900.00) with software. Should I wait a couple of months and save up for this long-arm...or go with one of the 5 choices above??? Thanks for your advice! Cyndi |
I got the Janome 6600P for Christmas. I love it! Really easy to use (I don't feel like I need an engineering degree to sew), the manual is user friendly (the only thing is doesn't tell you is how to oil it -- I need to figure that out). It does everything I want except make coffee!

What about a Viking for 999??
|
So do you do your actual QUILTING on it, or just your piecing??
|
I purchased the 6600P about 2 months ago, but I paid 1049 for it. Its a very good quality machine and I can recommend it highly. The new Horizon 7700 looks like a very nice machine, but it is more $$$. It all depends on what you're willing to spend and what you want out of a machine.
What Viking model are you looking at for 999? Vikings really are nice machines, but then again, you need to decide what features are important to you. |
I got a Sapphire 835 for 999
|
If I had the money it would be the Janome Horizon.
|
It depends on what you plan to do with it and what machine(s) you all ready have.
I think the new Janome 7700 is overpriced right now because of the hype. You don't have the Viking Sapphire on your list and it was selling for $900 at Paducah which I thought was an excellent deal. There is also an Elna 7300 which is very similar to the Janome 6600 on your list. |
Have you tried out all of these machines yourself? It's a lot like buying a car; what is the best fit for one person may be very uncomfortable for another.
Here is another thread about machines I ran across here: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-18099-1.htm You may want to do searches on these specific models to see what other comments may have been posted about them on this forum. I don't think it's a good idea to invest in a longarm until you have done a year's worth of research to determine which one would be right for your situation. If you are a new quilter, definitely do not buy a longarm until you have some experience under your belt. |
