I have a Janome Memory Craft 7000 that is 22 years old now, I did my own quilting until my even feed (walking foot) wore out, I have another one coming that we are hoping will work on it...but I am also purchasing a new, middle of the line Pfaff, I really like the IDT feature on Pfaff.
I have sent quilts out to be quilted, the last one cost me close to four hundred dollars for it to be quilted and it was a twin size, not a lot of fancy quilting done on it, stitch in the ditch, cross hatching on the border and a chain down the sashing...three quilts sent out at that price would pay for the new Pfaff...
