I have a Janome Gem Gold that is all I was sewing on for a couple of years when I started to do a portrait quilt and needed a machine that I could adjust the stitch length and stop in the needle down position. So I bought a Brother CS6000i based on the reviews online and because it was relatively inexpensive. So no laughing here! I hope someday to get a nicer machine but I am having fun on this one for now!
