I bought the Janome Horizon 7700 in October and it is amazing. It does not embroider, it has decorative stitches if you choose to use them. I have 2 Berninas also, this is my first Janome and I am very happy with it. I bought it expressly for quilting due to the 11 inch harp space and the FMQ. I have just finished 2 quilts for my grandchildren for Christmas and did FMQ on both, they are twin size quilts, was easy to manouver them around. The 7700 is a beautiful machine and whatever kinks were present when they first came out have been corrected. I love it!
