I use my Janome to quilt my quilts. I have it on a Penny Winkle quilt framem that I bought about 10 years ago at a quilt show i went to. You can use any machine on it. I always wanted a long arm machine but they are all way out of my price range. I found one I can finally afford.. The Pennywinkle Sunshine 16. I ordered one and will get it in a few weeks. It is a mid arm machine, only 16" but it will be much better than my regular machine.
