I have a Janome 11000SE that does both and I luv luv luv it. But before I bought anything I would decide how big you want the hoops to be. I got this because I wanted that 8by8 hoop. But now Janome has a MC12000 that does embroidery and quilting and the hoops are bigger. Be sure and try out these machines and buy at a dealer with free lessons. Bought mine in Morris, Il and whenever I need help with it there is no problem Someone always willing to help me.
