I have a Janome 9500 for embroidery and fancy stitching and buttons. My Janome 1600 P-QC is my work horse. I piece and quilt on it. Also mending of jeans. There is nothing it can't sew. If it fits under the foot it will sew it. I never had it on a frame but toms of people do. My Tin Lizzie will be here tomorrow.
People also use Juki 98 on frames, but I never tried one. My janome dealers are so close it just made sense and Janome has a good name.
