Janome, Viking & Pfaff ARE the same machines. Made in the same place, just a different cover. They are made to use on a frame, so they don't come with a lot of extra feet. 9" throat space = lotsa space for quilting! Walking foot purchased at Hancock's with 30% discount was very cheap. Love mine (called MegaQuilter by Husq/Vik) and put on a Grace Next Generation frame it is wonderful! QBOT makes it computer driven, so sit back with a cuppa java and watch it go!
