New Machine Hunt- Allegro or Janome 6700
I notice no one said anything about service - warranty. Any quilt shows in your area to try out different machines in the vendor area. I have both a Baby lock and a Janome. For FMQ I like the Janome. The other thing you could do is ask the service techs which machine comes in more often for service. Also take different thread with you and see how the machines handle the thread you prefer to use.
