Janome Horizon 7700
I'm hoping someone on this wonderful board can help me. I recently purchased a Janome Horizon 7700 and I love it. The only thing I'm having a problem with is getting a nice smooth satin stitch to go around applique pieces. I talked to the dealer and all she said was I had to "fiddle with it". Has anyone with a Horizon found out how to do a nice satin stitch and would you be willing to share your secret? Hope everyone on this board has a nice Holiday season!!

"Fiddle with it"? What kind of an answer is that? Is this what they teach at the Janome Training the dealers have to go through? I don't care how much the machine cost -whether it was 100.00 or 10,000.00 dollars - "Fiddle with it" is NOT an acceptable response to a customer concern.

Funny "in reference to how they are training their dealers" comment--when I picked up my Babylock at my dealer after a cleaning and repair, I asked if I could use the 1/4 inch foot from my Janome on my Babylock (I had the foot with me and showed it to her). Her answer--if you can get it to work, it should work. What a rediculous answer!!! So, I asked her if there was an equivalent foot from Babylock other than the foot included with the machine as I don't find that one to work at all. She went and looked in the store for well over 5 minutes and then came back and said "no".

I purchased the Horizon 7700 in November. I was trying to get the satin stitch to match a project that I had started on another machine. Never could get a good stitch. I will finish that project on my other machine.
