Thank you to all of you for your in put on my quilts these were all made on the Brother XL 6562 machine which i bought back in 1997 from Walmart...It has never done me wrong... however i wanted more features... and I have choosen...............The Janome Horizon my dealer actually sells brother and Janome and he took them apart so i could see the quality inside and that is what sold me... i need the durability because i do sew more then quilts i hem Jeans and Carhart fabrics and i wanted to make some draperies so i need the durability and i am sure i will never need to replace it due to it breaking down... Thank you all so much for all of your kind words... and i am glad to have joined you all

Lucky you...nice quilts also...I'm on the hunt for a new machine...I currently have the Quantum XL100 Singer and I love it...truthfully, in the 15yrs of owning this baby, It has never ever been in the repair shop... :oops: I know VBG.....but I just took her in 2 days ago and there wasn't much repair to do on it...other than my thread cutter (which can't be repaired :cry: the repair guy said it's still a good machine, it also has the embroidery attachment...so I will just set it up for that once I get a new machine..so on that note.....I have been researching and well in all honesty Janome has won hands down for me...I looked at both the 6600P and the Horizon...I love the Horizon, but the 6600P will service me just as well as the Horizon as I have a longarm....so I just have to make up my mind on one of the two......but I'm going to wait until after the new year or after we come back from Hawaii as we are gone for 5 weeks....
