Good morning from California
 

I am knew to this website and I am hoping that there are some Janome owners out there who have a Janome quilting machine. I am considering purchasing one but want to be sure that the machine is easy to use for free motion quilting. Thanks.

Welcome to the QB from North Carolina. You're going to love it here. :thumbup:

Wecome Wecome from Waco Texas. U have a Juki straight stitch quilting machine.

Welcome. If you live anywhere near the Sacramento/Auburn areas contact me. We have a small group that gets together once a month and we think we are wonderful (I KNOW all the others are!).

I have a Janome 6600 and I have used it for quilting all my quilts. Have to say, I'm not a fantastic "quilter" but I have done a couple of fantastic quilts in my life (did I mention I also am very modest?). But I'm not into the fabulous designs that others like to use. Appreciate, but don't do.

Welcome from another southern Californian! I own a Janome and love mine as well. I don't consider myself an expert at FMQ but have done a few practice blocks with the Janome and it handles it well.

Welcome from Missouri.

Hello from Michigan!

Welcome from Northern California. I have a Janome 6600 and I LOVE it. I am new to sewing and quilting and this makes it easy. Good luck.

Also a Janome owner
 

Here are some links of quilts I made and quilted on my Janome 6500 over the last 1 1/2 year or so. I set the setting to mode 2 quilting, do NOT drop the feed dogs, use machinger quilting glowes, Schmetz top stitch needle 90/14, use Aurafil thread both in the top and bottom. The quilts were marked with crayola washable markers and washed after quilting in my front loader machine 2-3 times.

The Janome 6500 is the fore runner of the Janome 7700 and the Horizon. I have owned it for 8 1/2 years and have sewn on it nearly daily. I had some problems originally but a repairman brought the bobbin area up and that took care of it. Also I find it a thread snob and it is happiest with Aurafil.

I also own a Janome embroider machine but it was only used for quilting and we own a Janome mechanical machine, kind of like a school sewing machine and Janome Jem Silver, 3/4 machine. The Janome Jem silver is a great little machine and quilts very nice and easier then the Janome 6500. The opening is very restrictive on the Janome Jem silver though because it is a 3/4 size machine.

Welcome to the board. I hope my pictures encourage you. I am now learning to machine quilt on a long arm.
