Congratulations, i am so envious. and OMG there has been several comments about the Janome 6500 and 6600P, i was only just the other day about to purchase the 6600P-QC, upgraded model of the 6600P, only the shop owner advised me to hold off. So now am suspicious of this machine. I am wanting a mid arm sewer to go into my quilting frame. I have a Bernina Aurora 440QE and love it. It goes from normal sewing, embroidery, and to quilting with the BSR, haven't used the BSR much. But i do love this machine. So now i am not sure what to look out for. Can i get some more suggestions. Thanks heaps, Penny from down under :)
