I have a Janome 6600 pro.Have only had it a short time.The only thing I really have a problem with is putting a needle in,there is just no room for my hands. I need to get a threader for it, mine didn't work when I got it and they ordered one, I just haven't been back to get it.The dealer is wonderful and so are all who work there. I could not believe how easy it is to sew with fleece, just so easy.
