I also bought the new Janome Horizon a few months ago. I haven't regretted it!! It is an absolutely amazing machine!! I also bought a GMQ Pro quilt frame and just got it operational this weekend. I'm having lots of fun practicing with my Horizon. The extended throat area is perfect for machine quilting on the GMQ. It is also great for doing FMQ - it has a huge quilting table included. I used to make all of my clothes and my kids clothes. Now I just do quilts. The Horizon is probably much more machine than I need just for quilting, but who knows?? Once the grandchildren arrive, I will probably be making garments again. The nice thing about the Horizon is that it will do everything - it is not task-specific. Enjoy!! I know I am!!
