I have five different Janome machines and can't recommend them highly enough. Started with a basic Janome 5024 before I started quilting. Bought 6600 for the larger throat space as I quilt my own quilts at home. Then bought a 10,000 sewing/embroidery. Bought from a friends estate. Then came The 8200 Horizon to go on my quilting frame. Then bought Janome 15000. Love them all. I can have three machine on the go at once.
