The machine was a demo, she runs only at 600 t0 800 spm, we run a 11000 Janome at this low speed!

I know quite a few people who use it semi-professionally. They are very pleased with it. I thought the speed was 1000 spm max. I like the big frames and the capframe.

I haven't studied them, so I really can't make an informed comment except to say that the speed you have listed seems a bit slow to me.

Dollars too much for me, since I am hobby only. I use Designer 1 and still lots to learn on it. Good luck.
