I have a Janome 4618LE and absolutely love it. I use the 1/4" foot for the piecing and my walking foot for everything else. I would probably use the walking foot for piecing if I could see my 1/4" mark with it on there. That mark is difficult to see with several of the feet I have. Thank goodness for the blue low stick painters tape if I need a guideline to go by I use that it stays in place well but no adhesive residue to deal with.
