I have a Pfaff that I piece on. I bought a Janome 6600 because I wanted the wider throat area and I thought with the AccuFeed system I could replace the Pfaff and piece and quilt on one machine. I don't like the huge feet of the Janome for piecing but if you use a regular foot you're not using the AccuFeed system. But I like the Janome tons better for quilting.
