I have a Janome 11000 SE which has a quilting hoop and patterns - I have not tried using this function since I have gotten it. I love the embroidery/machine applique function of it though. It has a longer throat which would make quilting a larger quilt much easier. There are a lot of quilting features that I have not tried yet - hope to be able to soon. It sews like a dream, even heavier upholstery fabrics.
