Hi I have a Brother Innova 4400D and it is a embroidery and regular and it does a great job. I also have a Janome 6500 and that is on my quilt frame but I have used it just sewing and the 1/4 " seam is great and the free motion is wonderful. Before I put it on my frame I used this alot. Loved the fancy stitches.
also have a Babylock ESL and Haven't done much with it but it doesn't have a 1/4" foot so when I hit the dealer soon I'm going to purchase one. Good Luck but check out everyone of the machines that the dealer has so you can get a good idea of what you want. kjym Kathy
