Thinking of the task at hand. Some of the things I like about this Janome 712T are Reliable 2000U-33 Barracuda Portable Zig-Zag Walking-Foot Sewing Machine of all its simplicity. As I said before, I don't need all those fancy stitches and we won't be quilting our quilt as we have decided to use tuft ties. I also like the look of that automatic needle threader - that is one thing I am finding more and more difficult to do as I get older and my eyesight becomes less reliable.

But The Brother XL2230 does not occupy much in price advantages,So I suggest you consider the Brother CS6000i.
