I own 3 Janomes and would hate to part with any of them. The only thing I don't use on my 6600 is the single hole plate. I use the knee lifter when appliqueing as it leaves both hands free to guide the fabric. I don't use a lot of the decorative stitches on my 5024 but have them on the 6600. The little one I take to workshops or to my group. Also have a MC10000 but it is used exclusively for embroidery. Now I have my own quilt room the embroidery machine can be going while I sew on either of the other two. Love the freedom of a large workspace.
