Rotate your machine 15 minutes counter-clockwise so the needle end is towards you and the wheel end is a long-arm stretch away from you - looks the same way a longarm quilting machine would look when you stand in front of it. |

That janome6500 with table is definitely a good deal. You won't regret it. I have an Elna 7300 that I paid much more for with table. It is very similar.
