I have two Janomes and love them. Janome makes Kenmore machines, so you might want to check out Sears. Both my Janomes can handle heavy fabric. There are lots of threads here on the QB about getting a new machine. Use the search feature at the top of the site to search for this info, it will be really helpful to you.
Good luck and keep us posted!
