Good point! although I only have a few Elna feet, but they are less expensive than Bernina for Janome. I tried FMQ on the Janome 8900, didn't like it as much as the Bernina- but the cost of the Bernina?!&@?? What I love about the Bernina is the BSR, the stitch quality the bias tapefoot, love all the creative stitches, LOVE LOVE the 80% larger bobbin. I don't think I would ever get another Elna, I struggled with the tension the entire time I used it- 37 years. I wore it completely out only because I didn't even think of buying another machine, ha, the thought never entered my mind!
