I have a janome 6600 and 8900 and I like them both. But I recently got the juki tl2010q and it's in a class by itself. It's only single stitch but it beats the pants off the janomes in stitch quality and the quarter inch foot almost makes it impossible to mess up that quarter inch seam. Harp space on the 8900 enables me to quilt the sandwich with ease. Just finished 1st time quilting with invisible thread on the 8900...no problems at all. Don't know how the juki would have done but I was in a hurry to get it done and the 8900 didn't disappoint me.
