I LOVE my Janome 9900 combo. It was my upgrade from the Janome 9700 ...which I still have. I chose Janome because of the ergonomices and I love that the embroidery module is behind the bed...ready to use whenever. Tho i do take it off to drop the machine into the flush surface in my table. Smooth, quiet sewing.
What machine feels right for you? It is like buying a car...you have to love it...not us.
