peggi mentioned the janome 6700. i haven't heard of that one. i looked at the 7700 when i took my 6600 in for maintence, and it scared me, just looking at it. but, i did learn a couple more features about my 6600 while i was in the shop. does anyone remember seeing a link of janome owners learning something different about their machine each week? would appreciate it if anyone recalls. ordered the circle hoop for doing applique circle stitches. anyone seen that?
