[quote=QuiltswithConvicts]I have the Janome 6600P with some bells & whistles. Best features are the extended work surface, "built-in walking foot" & built-in thread cone holder. This is my 2nd Janome.[/quo.te]
I also have the Janome 6600 and a Janome gem sliver and love them both. I have a Bernina 210 that I like, but lean toward the Janomes. There are many different price ranges, and all are good. Try out what ever you decide on before you purchase!
