    I have decided to get a new machine and since there are NO and I mean NO dealers near me to try one out here are my choices-

    Janome Memory Craft 6500 Professional Sewing and Quilting Machine

    Viking Sapphire 835 perhaps the 855.......

    Any pros or cons on either of these machines??? Trying to keep it under 1300.000

    I would get the janome but if you can find it, I'd get the 6600 because it has the accufeed system on it. I paid $1399 for mine but I've seen people here say they've gotten theirs cheaper.

    Janome Memory Craft 6500 Professional Sewing and Quilting Machine


    I would get this machine. I have sewn and quilted on it for nearly 8 years and still love it. I have not felt a need to upgrade to the 6600 or 7700. Never any tension issues and a dependable work horse.

    I have a Viking Sapphire 875 and love it. Sews nice. Lots of throat space for quilting. I've had no problems with it whatsoever. We all seem to love our machines so our differing opinions might not be very helpful in making your decision. :)

    I have the Janome6500 and love it, would've gotten the 6600 but the extra bucks at the time was out of the question.
