I have heard good things about the Janome 7700. I have a computerized Brother Cs6000I with 63 different stitches. Rarely use the fancy stitches, just buttonhole or zigzag, am not getting much from the 63 stitches. I want to buy the Janome 7700 this fall, so if you buy this machine, let me know how you like it. The one thing you do not have if you buy new off the internet is the warranty is not valid unless you buy through a dealer. The prices are better off internet than through a dealer. Good luck.
