Thanks all for your comments. No, the Pfaff I listed does not have the embroidery function -- I don't want that as I never used the embroidery machine I just sold. I want to upgrade to one with an 11" harp that has decorative stitches. I just mentioned the ones I did since they will be on sale. That dealer also sells Brother, but when I talked on the phone to him, he mentioned the three I listed as having the features I want. Not sure there is a Brother with an 11" harp that doesn't have the embroidery feature. I don't have the luxury of going to a lot of stores as they are all +/-200 miles from me (except Singer which I know I don't want). The only reason I can go to this one is I have an appt. in a town close to there.
At any rate, if anyone has any other comments and suggestions, especially on how these or other similar machines might do with FMQ as well as general sewing, I would be most grateful. I do remember that some Janomes (6600/7700?) had problems with FMQ. But the newer ones may have fixed that.
