I have a Janome Horizon (MC7700) which was a trade-up on my 5-year old Janome MC6600O; when I bought my quilting frame a Janome 1600P came with it which was only 4 years old. I have an Elna serger also. I also have a 20-year old Singer, which I keep just in case, but I have been so spoiled with the Horizon that I think I will donate it to charity pretty soon. Once in a while I look at other machines, or wish I could get an embroidery machine, but for the kind of sewing & quilting I do, I prefer hand embroidery. I guess I am not 'SMAD'.
