Make sure you can get the stitch regulator for the Janome. Some of the regulators out there aren't compatible. I was going to go with the Grace frame and was thinking of using my Janome 7700 because of the 11" bed and there is no stitch regulator for it because of the digital guts inside, it won't work. Since it didn't make sense without it I decided to scratch that idea and send my quilts out. Good luck.
