I have a Janome6500 which I love. On the expensive side, at least for my purse, but I put it on layaway for about 6 months, the dealer was wonderful. Once you have a Janome 6500 or 6600 you get free classes to go to as often as you want or need. First year you get one free servicing.
The Janome replaced a sturdy Kenmore that I had for over 35 yrs. The Kenmore is still a comfortable friend to have when my grandkids want to sew.
Oh, and the Janome has a larger throat than most for easier quilting....but not as easy as a long arm, LOL.
