Janome has muddied the waters as far as the "Horizon" name is concerned. They called the new 8200 and 8900 "Horizon" . The 8900 and 8200 have the same harp as the 7700, but the accufeed system is different and they are 9mm quilting machines.
As if that is not confusing enough, they also came out with an embroidery machine that bears the "Horizon" -- it is a larger machine than the quilting machines and it is expensive. Donna -- I think this is the one you mean.
