I made my decision and really happy
After asking about sewing machines on QB and talking to people for several months I decided to buy a Janome 6600P and am very happy with this machine. I have had it for about 3 weeks and so far has done everything well. It has nice room for my hands, which is the prime reason I upgraded, more space, is faster, everything works so nicely and the Accufeed is awesome.
I had thought to buy a used one in good condition but my dh and I decided that warranty, etc. was important. After checking all over the place and on line, they seem to have the prices fixed at one spot 1699.00 and that was it. No shipping only buy at a dealers. This annoyed me as it seems unfair they can say you can only buy from dealers and no one will come down or talk to you if you want to ship. Because I like Janomes so well and this was the machine that made sense to me I went with it. I am really happy with the machine but not how they market them. Wondered if this ever bothered anyone else. Anyway, when I go to my studio I am excited to sit down at that machine, yippee. Thanks for the help from everyone during the past months.
