I have a Janome 'SewPrecise" machine, I love it. It has some modern features, but not too many as to be hard to use! I have had it about 2 years. I do quilting, and am trying to learn Free Motion Quilting. The feed dogs DO drop down, it makes buttonholes, but I don't do clothing anymore, several decorative stitches, auto needle up when you stop, speed setting, easy bobbin change, and wind - visual bobbin - didn't break the bank to buy. I got it on line in fact, from Ken's Sewing.
Any tips on free motion?
