Last weekend at the Dallas Quilt Show I test drove the Janome Artisitic 18, with the Quilters Creative Touch for Quilt Motion Software. I was very pleased with the computer driven quilting software so I bought the whole package. I am still waiting for it to arrive and my dealer to deliver it and set it up. The dealer is providing a free 5 hour class the end of this month at his store on the machine and setting it up to use, plus tips and tricks. I will post what I have learned. I noticed one of the other members bought their machine at Thomas Sewing Center in Mesquite, Texas, that's where I bought mine.
