Hi,
I bought two Janomie machines and my son bought one for his wife, I traded the newest Janomie for a Bernina which I love to distraction, but I kept the old Janomie because it does awesome satin stitch and when I'm working on a quilt and I have the walking foot on the Bernina, I can switch over to the Janomie to do the satin stitch or any other fancy stitches without having to remove the walking foot and change the settings, I would recomend the Janomie to anyone, and I've had a lot of sewing machines in my lifetime.
