I am a true Janome fan. I have the new 7700, which by the way I am still bonding with. I have the 6500 and had two Gems, one I have given to one of my best friends. I use the Gem for classes, unless a large machine is needed. Then I take my 6500.
I have questions regarding the 7700. So if anyone out there has the 7700, respond, please.
The 6500 is so easy to work on and I have had no problems except the ones I cause myself. She has had only three maintenance cleaning. Reason is that I live on Maui and I send it to Oahu as they are the only Janome dealer in our state.
So anyone thinking about a janome should at the very least try one out.
