1.) What machine you have
Janome Memory Craft 6500.
and Juki 2000 Qi

2.) What you love about it
I love it because it came with all the different foot attachments, easy to understand book, and it is very smooth and quite. It has all the stuff you love... needle threader, top load bobbin, clear bobbin cover, so you can see how low your bobbin is getting. thread cutter, it does just enough decorator stitches to suit me and make me look professional, and easy to use also.

The Juki is what I use on my quilting frame. It is a very nice and simple and fast machine. Loves it oil. Does a beautiful stitch. Has a threader and cutter on it..

3.) What you don't love about it
Janeome I can not think of anything I do not like about it.. It is heavy so I would not like to carry it around so I do not.. LOL..

The Juki, loves its oil, its bobbin is hard to reach at time. does not have any of the sensors on the bobbins or anything.

4.) How much you paid for it
Janome is about 5 years old I pd $2500.00
the Juki is new less than a year old. $1000.00

Good luck , and most important is cut yourself some sandwiches of material and stick them in a zipper bag in your purse and go try out some machines. material you want to use when you are sewing. if it is denim, then do denim, if silk, then silk .. or all kinds.
