This is as close to perfect as it gets for a home machine. Beautiful and professional stitch quality. If you are a quilter, you will love it's high performance stitching modes, and stitch regulation attachment. I could not be more pleased with my new Janome Continental M8

This machine is one I will have until it decides to go! Although I have had it into the fixit shop a few times I still love it!
