Janome 9500. Has 4x4 and 5x7 hoops. Sews and embroiders. LOVE Janome. Also, consider where you will get service, how far is the nearest dealer or repair shop. I had a Singer Futura years ago and it completely turned me off of embroidery. It was loud, awkward, the progams were not the most user friendly at all. My dealer told me to give this 9500 a try this winter and I have been loving it ever since.

Here is a link to my first real project:

You WILL love it!
