I KNOW this isn't what you want to do....but I'd keep your little machine for the freearm sewing and invest in at least the Janome 6600...I have one and it has a thing or two I don't care for especially, one of the problems I have is that the footfeed hesitates when starting and I've been used to a Bernina that had NO hesitation. That said, you might also take a look at the Husqvarna-Viking machines...I have the Viking 770 and love it but the harp is not real large. I would really suggest you just look...there is a perfect machine out there for you but you'll have to find it! Good luck and happy hunting!
