I have a Janome 6600 that I use as my piecing machine as well as doing the quilting with it. I have quilted a king size quilt on it and was very pleased with the results. I am seriously considering a longarm - the prices seem high to me unless I can find a used one. There's also the learning curse that goes along with it. I seem to be able to machine quilt with a small amount of success so I don't know if I want to start all over again.
