If you have the money....a Janome Horizon 7700...I love mine! If not, I am a big fan of all Janomes. I also own the Platinum Gem and my girlfriend owns one of the embroidery machines and loves it. Even their special editions have good features. I had the Janome 2007LE before I traded it in towards the Horizon and never had one problem with it in 3 years of use.
