I went on ebay when I started quilting a year ago and found a refurbished janome for $99.00/free shipping. It came with all of the feet I needed to start with the exception of a walking foot for quilting. I purchased the walking foot for $39.00 on ebay as well. I made my first and second quilt on this machine then upgraded. Just wanted to make sure I was in this for the long haul. Happy to say that I am hooked and going strong. Good luck to you...Happy Quilting!!!
