I had a huge learning curve. My husband googled things while I cried my eye balls out! We had to buy a different bobbin case holder and then we had to play with the legs. I found out I had the wrong carriage. I finally went to buy a grand Quilter that was used. I do not put my Janome Horizon on the frame but use the used Grand quilter instead. I sew the pieces together or do small quilts with my precious Janome. Please don't give up.
