I too just got my Horizon 7700 as of August 1st. I have been using my start and stop button. I have taken my 1st lesson and have set up my 2nd lesson. I can't wait to get a quilt assembled so I can quilt it. I had just quilted a 95x96 inch quilt on a Janome DC 3018 with a throat space of less than 7 inches. I think this one will be a dream when it comes to quilting on it. I would like to join one of the online quilting groups also. :)
