Janome have a fairly good reputation, but I Goggled the machine, and while it might be a "good" machine, there isn't very much throat space, so I would have to ask, what size quilts do you plan on doing? If baby to lap, it would probably be good, but I think you'd have to struggle to do anything larger. I don't have any machine recommendations in that price range, other than to say, I wouldn't buy any kind of new Singer, this is my honest opinion.

Welcome to the board, your going to be happy you found it. I personally don't own this machine but the Brother 1500 is a straight stitch only machine and it is comparable to the Juki 2010 it sells for I believe under $700. Unless you are looking for a mid arm. For the amount of money you can save buying the Brother over the Juki the people that I know who own these machines love them and the ability to FMQ. Good luck with your purchase.
