Brother or Janome
I could use some opinions please. Have done much agonizing between between
Bernina, Pfaff, and Viking TOL machines to do piecing, machine quilting and embroidery. The Bernina is just so expensive. The Pfaff appears to have too many problems. The Viking embroidery seems to have issues with software and quality. Finally came to somewhat of a different decision. Have decided to get a Brother 1500 for the machine quilting. For the piecing and embroidery, it's a Brother ULT 2003D or a Janome 10000/10001. For those of you who use either the Brother or Janome machines for your quilting, please share the pros and cons. Thank you. |

I have a Brother 1500 (about 2 years old?) and love it for quilting. It also
works well for piecing. Good stitch quality. Features such as knee lift, up/down needle and (TADA!) automatic thread cutter. Large bobbin capacity. And it's really really fast. joan joan o'reilly http://members.aol.com/Joan8904/index.html |

Check to see if your Janome has adjustable custom stitches. I have a
MemoryCraft 3500. There is only one size blanket stitch.I wasn't happy finding that out. Other machines (brands) this is flexible.

Howdy!
I have a Janome Decor Excel; love it! I *could* quilt with it if I chose; I'm a handquilter. g Pro: it does just what I want it to do, has more stitches than I'll ever use, is quiet, dependable, and easily serviced by my local sewing machine shop where I bought it (just had it cleaned and serviced last week). The shop sells several brands, and highly praise the Janome line. Con: none, for me. http://janome.com/ A sewing machine review site: http://quiltstuff.home.att.net/ (Thanks, Kevin!)

I love it for quilting and I often use it for piecing as well. Sews a beautiful stitch and comes with a 1/4" foot. My mom has an older Janome (the 6000 I think) that does embroidery and such and really loves it. I have a Janome too and like it but it's a much simpler model - mechanical, not too many stitches. Good machines at a reasonable price. marcella |

I have several Janome New home machines.....I love them the newest is 4800QC
which is just great has a blanket stitch and buttonhole sttich the best on the market as far as I am concerned if I were in the market for an embroidery machine it would definitely be a Janome. Plus I have a great dealer service man. -- Mauvice in Central WI USA "Denise Worden" wrote in message news:eHwrb.114809$ao4.347205@attbi_s51... I could use some opinions please.
