prairie girl, i have the janome 6600P sewing machine and it has a 9" throat and i am absolutely in love with it. I also have the janome 350E embroidery machine, I prefer having these two machines over the ones that sew and embroidery both because lots of times i will have a design under the needle on the embroidery machine and piecing a quilt at the same time on the sewing machine. here's a picture of a peacock that i made on the 350E last night. you sure can't go wrong with any janome machine, i love them both.
