I came here 3 yrs ago from Cleveland Ohio so it really is a new world for me. No one went out of their way to be helpful there so I'm still getting used to how nice things are here :)

I'm glad you got your problem fixed and I'm even more surprised that your dealer makes house calls. However, part of a good business is customer service and keeping the customer happy. One unhappy customer can spell the death knell for any business. Happy quilting from now on out.

I have the Janome 6600 (which should operate the same as the 6500 when FMQing) and I was told that I could use the open-toed plastic darning foot for FMQing (it came with the machine) with no adjustments or the metal circular FMQ foot (purchased separately). However, when using the latter it's crucial to set the height adjustment correctly (trial and error???) or else the thread keeps breaking.
My dealer (50 miles away) not only doesn't make house calls, but likes to charge for everything and/or upsell me to another/different machine. You have a dream dealer :-)

A dealer that will go to your home when you have a problem with your achine makes me want to spend some of my quilting dollars with him. Can't wait to visit the store!

(did I even come close to spelling that right?) and friendly. Lucky you, living close enough to take classes there! They probably won't remember me, but tell them the 2 ladies from Arkansas said hello!
