- I agree with Joset, I am also new at quilting I started January 2012, I have a Janome 1600P and I love it, I have it on my 10' foot quilting frame and it does an awesome job and is super fast and easy to figure out since I am no awesome person at figuring out how to run sewing machines. I too have a mega old sewing machine that I do ALL my piecing on which is an old old ALCO that my mom gave me...I am 27 yrs old and have fallen in love with quilting...I use my Janome for doing all my quilting and fooling around with new designs after I have finished my tops... sometimes in the bobbin case there gets lint in there that can cause thread issues, I use a makup brush to clean it out a bit and seems to help some...tension is always tricky to get perfect and sometimes it doesnt get perfect but after one wash the threads pull eachother to the center and it looks just fine ...best of luck and have fun!
