I bought the Janome 8900 last year, and I love it! The wide harp space is wonderful. I really like the Acufeed foot too. You can put it on or off. It has many feet that come with it too. Lighting is good, and mine came with a large clear table that attaches to the machine. It is perfect for piecing and quilting. I bought the ditch quilting foot, open toe foot, and 1/4" piecing foot to fit the Acufeed. They are awesome.
