I have a Janome 6600 (have had it over a year) and really love it! I've been able to do piecing, straight line and free motion quilting as well as things for DH on his leather vest. It is a work horse of a machine at a reasonable price. In fact, I now have three Janomes, the 6600 the 350E embroidery and the 2018 for travel. Find a good dealer in your area and ask lots of questions. I chose between Bernina and Janome when I bought mine.
