I LOVE my Janome 6600, it is truly a dream machine!!! Just quilted a denim quilt on a Pennywinkle frame, and then took it off the frame to attach binding and finish 30 more table mats or mini table runners!!! I love her!!! have made two LARGE bean Bag chairs in the last month out of a heavy canvas camo material and did french seams never missed a lick!!! or sounds stressed (unlike the machines operator!!)
