l have three machines, a Janome Jem for taking to classes, a Janome Horizon which I bought when my machine I use to make wheat bags gave up the ghost and my good machine (also a Janome) which has now become the wheat bag machine. I don't only use it for wheat bags, if I have a lot of sewing to do I set one machine up with dark thread and the other with light thread or one will have the walking foot on it and the other the free motion quilting foot, saves a lot of time.
