I have 3 Janome machines, but it's the MC6500P that I wish i had investigated more. It has more settings than will ever use, plus alphabet fonts for making labels or monograming....I've never used them at all. What they call quilting stitches, I call decorative stitches, and don't think I've used them more than once. Wish my money was better invested in a slightly larger throat space, and more metal in the machine instead of plastic parts. Now I'm thinking about an embroidery/quilting machine so I can program it do to wonderful even quilting stitches.
