I have this machine too and agree that the keyword is PRACTICE!!! So many ppl expect to be able to sit down and FMQ just like that and I see ppl on here posting that so and so is 'lucky to be able to FMQ' - it's not luck, it's putting in the work! I mostly do small art quilts and hangings, up to about 5' square but have and can do bigger through my Janome's 9" harp.

If you plan the quilting right, you can do any size you like in one piece. Katrine is one of the best ppl I know for this - look at her 'Starstruck' http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-62514-1.htm - all done on her Janome 6600 in her teeny tiny sewing room! I know because I've been there!

Now I'd love an LA one day, when I can afford it, but for now, I'm happy with my Janome. :-D
