I popped in to my local sewing machine shop today and saw the Janome Horizon. It is just STUNNING. I HAVE TO HAVE THIS MACHINE!!! I intend to trade my 6600 in on it. I have never seen such an amazing looking machine. For a machine junkie this has to be an ultimate. My 6600 now looks so SMALL. It means I will have to sell some of my antique machines to afford it however I think it will be worth it. I have the 6600 table which I will also have to sell, as that will not be a trade in at the shop. The HORIZON does have the holders for large embroidery cotton spools, though the shop had yet to get them in, they clip on the back as an extra.
