I just bought the 7700 before Christmas. Love many of the features except the little plate that closes (or is supposed to) every time you go to straight stitch. That came off. That feature is kind of annoying. Wish it was easier to go to selected stitches. LOVE the thread cutter!! Haven't done much quilting with it yet but like the idea of the larger harp. That is one of the reasons I traded in my 4900. Any suggestions?
