I have the 7700 janome with the Accufeed. I was a very new sewer with no lessons. It took me a while to figure it all out but now I LOVE it!! If you can I would buy the 7700 you can FMQ queen size quilts fairly easy I have heard of folks quilting king size on their 7700. Being able to quilt my own quilts and the accufeed make the sewing machine worth the money. Love the space under the machine.
