Thanks everyone. It took me a while to find my post! Still learning how to use this forum. I looked a Juki but I want a place that will locally service them. After much thought I decided I really wanted a Janome 6600P - I did not want to buy a machine and in a year or so wish I had gotten what I really wanted. But could not find one under $1800 in my area. I visited several quilt stores and they say they rarely see them come up used.
I did see one this weekend that was on auction at ebay and bid on it - but it wound up going for just under $1400!
So I found a Janome 6500P that had everything I wanted and had an extra package with a case and most all the feet I will need. I comprimised on my price and got it for just under $1400.
Your comments have really helped and I have enjoyed reading the posts. Thanks!
