I have a Janome 7700 and LOVE IT!!!!!! Also, I own a Viking Desinger SE and use it for piecing, quilting and EMBROIDERY! I just couldn't part with either......good luck with your decision. (PS: I've owned a Bernina machine made especially for quilter's in the past and I didn't especially care for it....to stiff and hard to keep the fabric ging straight, plus all the attachments are way more expensive than Janome or Viking....just a thought).
