I have two machines: a Kenmore 1316, bought in 1972, and a Janome Memory Craft 9000, bought as a floor demo model when Janome retired that machine. I really ought to buy a walking foot for Ken. He has far more room in his harp than Jan does and his feed dogs will drop, if need be. I could do all my quilting on him as long as I could make myself turn the wheel to lower the needle at every stop. Jan is nice because you can set her to do that but she is a tiny thing in her harp.
