I am learning hand quilting for a year. Now I would like to learn more on machine quilting. I have a Janome Platinum 760 and planning to have a Janome MC6600 or Bernina 440qe. I would like to have you comment on these 2 machine. Since Macau don't have any dealer, I need to order the machine from Hong Kong. The same dealer sales Janome and Bernina. I cannot easily get their maintenance service becasue is too remote. ( I need to take half an hour to ferry station and take one hour ferry and then 1 hour by car to the dealer's shop.) Therefore I would like to choose a machine doesn't need too many maintenance. In Macau or even in Hong Kong, there is no class for machine quilting. We can only learn how to quilting by ourself or go to Taiwan to learn. It takes one hour by flight and spend a big amount of money. I am planning to take a one week class in Taiwan at the end of this year but that is the maximum I can spend on machine quiling. Therefore user friendly is also a good mark for my decision.
Thanks
