Took the plunge and bought a new machine!!
I have been wanting to get a machine for FMQ for some time. I was really wanting to get the Janome 6600 due to the wide harp space. I really didn't need or want all the extra stitches that came with it. I have smaller Janome that has more stitches than I ever use. So I had to go to the LQS to get some fabric for a quilt.
While I was there, I was looking at the machines again. One of the gentlemen who works there showed me a Brother PQ 1500s that he did all his FMQ on. Just a beautiful straight stitch with a wide hard and no fancy stitches. And it was half the price of the Janome. I came home and did some research on the Brother machine. It got awesome reviews! And I found it at Ken's Sewing Center for $599!! I called and talked to the staff (they were super nice!) and now my new machine is on it's way!!!! Free shipping and it may be here by tomorrow!!! I am super happy!!!

You won't be disappointed. It has a thread cutter button too. I use mine every day. I do all my piecing on it to. I did buy a Janome this year with the 11" harp. I like it a lot too. I have had the Brother for several years.
