"After owning a Bernina 817 for ever, I finally decide to buy a new modern machine. After many months of research and test driving many different machines I finally decided on the Janome 6500. The price and all it offered is why I chose it. It has all the features (and more) that I wanted for quilting. Most important was the extra wide throat area. I love the needle threader and don't know how I ever managed without it. The ease of switching from one of the many stitches to another is wonderful! This is a great machine! I highly recommed it for those who want alot of machine but not alot of money!" - Lisa Bryson, Statesville NC (Jun 19, 2010)
"What a beautiful machine! I am so thrilled that I took this suggestion from SMP. They were knowledgeable and asked the right questions to help me find a machine to suit my needs. This was perfect! It was everything I was looking for! Thanks so much for your help! " - Josephine, Brooklyn NY (Mar 23, 2009)
