I have a Janome 11000 and do enjoy using it very much. This is the third big Janome I've purchased. It is pretty easy to download patterns from the internet, to do small areas of a quilt - which turn out very nicely - as well as SITD and - if space is available, it will stipple very well also.
It has a 8x8 (?) inch hoop which is the largest available for this particular machine. I use that hoop to do wonderful embroidered quilt designs (which are downloaded from the internet) as well as the most mundane sewing stuff.
I have several Janome machines as the feet are all interchangeable and since we use the RV every winter - down to Arizona - I take the Janome Gem for which I have a table it fits into and is small enough to take to classes.
