I just saw one of my friends' Janome. She now wishes she had gotten the next model up. You have to remember, all it does is sit there and does only FMQ. You will still need the quilt be supported on something larger than those tiny tables. Good Luck!!

There's a couple of yahoo digests for the Innova machines. I have the 26" on a frame and love it. The customer service is top notch too if ever you need them.......365/24/7. The folks on these digests are very helpful too so might be nice if you joined them as I know there's a couple of them with the sitdown machines who have had them for just a short time so lots of questions put out by them.

That is my dream machine!...and if you have friends that have one you've got a built in community to share tips and pointers!

I would suggest doing an entire lap quilt on it. In that way you get a true picture of whether you like the sit down or not. It still takes a lot of effort and time, small machine or sit down. I opted for a used long arm.
