I also have both 1/4" feet for my machine.

This is one of the important reasons that I got the 6600. My husband works for a mfg. company and knows about machining and the 6600 is made with ball bearings, not the bush and castings that a lot of them have or the plastic interiors. He told me that it was the sturdiest machine that we looked at. We looked at all kinds and test drove them. There were some with more bells and whistles, but when I'm going to put out that amount of $$$ I wanted something that would last.

Besides that, it is a totally awesome machine!!!! I love the attached walking foot and the accu feed system is a dream!!! I can just sit there and feed it. Very user friendly machine.

I feel like a salesman, I'm not!! I just am very pleased with my purchase.

Good Luck!!!
