I have eight machines - use two on a regular basis - both Janomes. One is a 2010 and the other is a 6600. I would not own the 6600 if I had to buy it (I won it on a shop hop a few years back). I straight stitch on it and not much else - what a waste! I have two Featherweights and I know everyone swears by them but I don't prefer them to the smaller Janome which travels very well. I have not been able to get the presser feet on either Featherweight to hold the fabric down well enough - it feels like I am doing FMQ with them ...
