I have a nice new Janome domestic machine 3160 QDC which I like, once I got used to sewing using a plastic machine after my 1966 Elna went to the metal-recycler. It was $600 on sale - woo woo. I do cover it up during the day so the sun won't warp it.
But the throat, or gap, or whatever is under 7"- it is enough work shoving a 60 sq in quilt around it to do some basic walking-foot stuff, even though I roll up both sides of the quilt.
It occurred to me I might buy a cheap used machine with more room to maneuver a quilt -
Do you think it's worth it or should I just muscle around the FMQ with my Janome?
