If you are looking for a machine to use mainly with a frame I would suggest the JUKI. I would also suggest looking at sewingmachineplus.com for the very best price. [check out the price of the Janome also]No charge for shipping and were very fast at getting it to me. I know I will be buying more from this store. Mary M
