    Saw this one today - lots to the machine. Very new. Was given a price of $2000.00 because I mentioned that is my limit. I am pretty sure it was the 8900. Suppose to take the place of the 7700 Horizon. I did not spend much time with it. Will go back with my samples, etc. The stitch they showed me was quite nice. Was too much to take in for first time visit.

    The machine which takes the place of the Horizon 7700 is the 7700 (without the Horizon). It looks just like the Horizon 7700 but it's not red. It retails for just under $2,000. The 8900 is their new top of the line machine, which does retail around $4,000 and they've also come out with an 8200 which is like the 8900 but with fewer stitches and minus a few features. I understand it will go for about $2700.

    I've heard very good things from owners of the 8900; it's like the original 7700 except some of the features are slightly different and easier to use. I'm thinking of trading up, but haven't gotten a price yet.

    Doesn't the new 8900 have a 9mm stitch width whereas the 7700 only has the 7mm?

    Yes, it does have the 9 mm width stitch, which makes a lot of difference in some and not so much in others. Mine arrived last week so I'm still playing with it. But so far I like it a lot. And at $2250.00 with free shipping and no tax, it was a great deal. I purchased from Tops Vacuum and Sewing in Sarasota, FL -- where Madriver got hers. The staff is very easy to deal with and don't mind anwering my "dumb" questions.

    Do you know if they will ship out of state or not? I'm ready to buy the 8900.
