I bought one at the Houston Quilt Festival. I have been a devoted Janome fan for more than 15 years, but I was VERY disappointed in the 7700. So disappointed that I took it back today and exchanged it for a Babylock. There are just too many problems and in my (never to be humble) opinion it does not sew as well as the Janome MC 4000, which is what I had first. The 7700 would NOT sew over the OBW center seams even with the new/improved O2 foot. So it is history, and I am thrilled with the Babylock.
