I just bought a janome 11000 with professional kit. Its very easy to use. I got a digitizer jr and a cd with 1100 designs which is a canadian designer but retails for 499.00 us go figure.
I got so many hoops with mine. A free arm for doing bottom of pants and a sqare which the sales lady said this brand has the only one. I don`t know if this is right but great for quilting squares. Also 2 hoops that use magnets to hold.
