I have a janome 6300p 2013. And a Husqvarna Viking designer 1-1998 the only difference is the janome has more room to move the quilt around . and I like the Viking for quilting in the ditch, the feet are larger so you can see the ditch . for f.m.q. i use the walking foot and raise the presser foot adjustment all the way up to move the fabric around under the needle .this works for me and use the ur fill thread.
