I use the Accufeed almost all the time, even for non-quilting projects. I do miss the free arm, but I have a little Janome Gem I keep on the side for when I really need the free arm and also for when my 6600 is getting his annual service. I've had him (Edward) for 3 years now and still love it.
My mouth is watering over the 7700, but my husband would never understand and besides that, I wouldn't want Edward to feel left out.
I bought a
White serger, the thread guard broke and I took it in for repair. They went 3 months and couldn't get replacement parts. To make a long story short I traded it in for a Janome serger, then later bought the 6600 Love both.
As for the White, the part they need is still on back order, the other day I saw a White serger, w/video, for sale at a gr sale.
Sures looked like the one I traded in about 4 years ago.
I would never buy another
White machine.
