I love my machine , HOWEVER, it won't do all I want to learn to do. I even contacted Janome, Bernina & Husquvarna Viking and asked their tech support for a recommendation and got some good advice but I would love to know how to free motion quilt and I tried it on my machine and the stitches are so irregular that I either get a new machine or don't learn. So--back to my questions. I have had the Viking Sapphire 870Q or the Bernine 440Q or the Janome MC6600P all recommended. I was told not to get a machine that I could not have classes with. The closet Janome Dealer is 100 miles away, the closet Viking dealer is 45 miles away and we have a Bernina Dealer here in town but the Bernina intimidates me a little. Do any of you know about these machines? Do they help control the stitch length with uneven movement? It is hard to teach an old dog to do new tricks. :wink:
