I have just bought a Janome QXL605. £429.00 but has a quilters package of 1/4" foot, Stitch in the Ditch foot and walking foot, an extension table and several other feet included as a special deal. This is the first Janome but the second computerised machine I have had. I'm thrilled with mine and have had no problems with computerisation. I have had a manual Riccar for nearly thirty years and while it still works well, I love how quiet and light the new machine is. Having spoken to the staff in two shops, I know that Janome feet can be used on several other makes. I know took quite some time to choose my machine. I think that the problem is that there are so many good machines to choose from these days.
