Thank you to all of you for your in put on my quilts these were all made on the Brother XL 6562 machine which i bought back in 1997 from Walmart...It has never done me wrong... however i wanted more features... and I have choosen...............The Janome Horizon my dealer actually sells brother and Janome and he took them apart so i could see the quality inside and that is what sold me... i need the durability because i do sew more then quilts i hem Jeans and Carhart fabrics and i wanted to make some draperies so i need the durability and i am sure i will never need to replace it due to it breaking down... Thank you all so much for all of your kind words... and i am glad to have joined you all
