I would like to hear some info from owners before I go and buy one.
I didn't get a table yesterday because I have a sturdy desk I use for sewing and figured I could add to table in the future if I want it. I had a little time to play with it last night and am very pleased so far. I was told that this 7700 has all the same features as the 6500 plus more. And it has that wonderful 11" throat space which totally sold me. I'm to the point in my life that convenience and comfort makes a huge difference and I'm willing to pay more to get it! I'm still consulting part time and have the money to do it now, so why not? :-) Off to work now ... I'll play more with it later today.

Ohhhhh. I would love to have one of those. I have a Janome with a nine inch throat area and I am always surprised at what I can squish into that space and quilt. Eleven inches! What a great machine!

Congratulations, you'll be very happy. I love my 7700. You'll need to get used to putting on the Accufeed feet. Clumsy at first, but it will become second nature in no time. Make sure to get the 1/4" foot and the ditchquilting foot too. They will come in handy, although not cheap.
Also, make sure to register your product on Janomewarranty.com so you will get the new upgraded regular 1/4" foot that works better with the feeddogs on this machine. It is free and will be mailed to you within a couple of months.
