Personally I like Janome the best! I have one as well..The other think I love about my Janome is that if I want a specialty foot they are usually less that 20$.
I have had my Janome for 7 years now..and I haven't had a problem and I think we all knew how prolific I was before I started LAQ....about 150 projects a year...She is still my main machine...Tried and true!
