Well, we went to a Janome dealer, but he didn't have much in stock, and for some reason Janome doesn't have many models with the stitch that I want on them. So we ended up at a Baby Lock dealer and I test drove the Soprano.
Really nice...the harp space is 8.3", just over 1.5" bigger then my current machines. It also has a nice big extension table, so I have to figure out if that would be big enough for me to quilt comfortably. King size quilts will go to the longarmer, but I want to be able to do quilts that are roughly 80"x80" myself.
It has 300 stitches...way more than I'll ever use, plus some features that make me scratch my head and go "huh?"
So I'm gonna do my homework, think about it, and shop around a bit more before I decide, but I think this is the right next step for me.
