There are no perfect machines out there so it means that you need to try them out and get the best match for you. Many here recommend Janome machines but my Janome 6500 was the most expensive, worst machine that I every owned. I now have a Juki TL98Q that I bought slightly used from a guild member for a quarter of the price I paid for the Janome and it is an absolutely wonderful machine for quilting. Good luck making this important decision.
