What do you like best about your Janome? What drives you the most nuts about it? Any special advice about buying one?
Please don't post if you are only going to advise me to buy a different machine. My mind is made up to buy a Janome Horizon so your post would only be a waste of time and effort.
Thank you all in advance for your help.

I have the Horizon -- so let me count the ways.
-- I had the 6500 and loved it (DD has it now), but I wanted the accufeed and a freearm, the Horizon has both.
-- the lighting is great -- it is much easier for old eyes to see to thread and the quilting.
-- there is a door on the upper left side of the head that allows you to get in there and clean out the fuzz that accumulates when you sew
-- there is a lot of room under the harp for quilts
-- the machine is quiet -- which in nice since you can tell if a needle is getting dull by the noise.
Every machine is a bit different -- I have not used the single hole feature much because I like a scant 1/4" and there is no room to move the needle over.
There is a Yahoo group that is devoted to the 7700 that you may find interesting.
