QNS--happy birthday a little early. I hope that I can get half what you do done in a day when I am your age!!
Jan--for sure let us know what you think after getting some sewing time in on your new machine! I will be upgrading to a larger machine hopefully in the next year. I've been thinking about a Janome 6600...just because I already have a Janome and it has some features that would be nice.
