I have two Janome's. The Horizon and the 3160 QDC as a travel/class machine. I'm crazy about both of them. They sew fabulous and after a ton of research I felt I got the most for my money.

Well my Horizon was just too heavy to carry to classes. Plus here there can be - hasn't so far, but can be a long wait to have it serviced. I get twitchy thinking I may be without a machine for a long time. I've become a quilting addict.

I bought the little one for classes and my machine is sewing-embroidery machine.

A little over 21 years ago, I bought a Pfaff to make my daughter's wedding gown. My old signer had seen better days and the fabric for the gown was worth far more than the machine I then had. I still have the Pfaff today and love the even feed foot and built in needle threader but it lacked some of the features I wanted when I got into quilting. About 6 years ago I bought a Viking Platinum 755Q. It had the needle down feature and the built in needle threader but I had to buy a walking foot separately and it was big and bulky compared to the even feed foot on the Pfaff. It had features that made it much better for free motion quilting. I am currently getting ready to sell this machine as I have upgraded to a Janome Horizon QCP with an 11 arm which is great for free motion quilting. It also has the needle down, built in needle threader, many special stitches, a large extension table, a knee lifter bar and a start/stop buttton which allows you to sew without the foot pedal. There are probably other features I have not even explored yet.

I'm starting to save to purchase a new sewing machine. Anyone who has purchased the Horizon or 11000MC willing to share how much you purchased it for? I'm almost scared to ask.

Just sent you a PM Aeble.

Sewing machines are our power tools! Most of my machines are antiques or bought new many years ago.
I've only paid full price for 1 of my machines.
