    For me the MUST DO for buying a sewing machine is to see if the dealer can give you lessons AND can repair your machine. NO machine is any good if you cannot get the full benefit from it OR if it is in the shop "somewhere" and you are without one for a week or more.

    1.) What machine you have
    Janome 6600

    2.) What you love about it
    Love the accufeed, needle up/down, needle threader, big throat, reference guide to what number to punch in to do what stitch is right on the machine, removable extension table, easy threading, what foot/tension/foot pressure is right on the screen for you

    3.) What you don't love about it
    Not a big fan of the thread cutter because the ends get pulled back into the bobbin area

    4.) How much you paid for it (I know this may be a rude question, but I just really need to know what a "good deal"is on these machines... I walk into a dealer and feel like I'm a sitting duck!!!)
    DH got it for me for Christmas 2010. Paid about $1200 and it came with the extension table, a dozen feet and free classes whenever I want.
