Many years ago, Leah Day had a tutorial on "modifying" a hopping foot (I think she used a rubber band and a small stick) to keep a hopping foot from hopping. Here's a link
"Break your darning foot"
I would say if the Janome option doesn't hop (which it looks like it doesn't - I just googled the p/n Janome lists on their website for your machine), it will be easier to FMQ with than even "breaking your darning foot".

Thank you too! This is the kind of feedback either for or against it. So far it is looking like a whole lot cheaper than buying a bigger and 'better' machine. It does look pretty slick to me, but I know basically nothing.
