I bought my 9900 today. I just finished setting it up and I played with some decorative stiches. I will write up a review later after I have sewn on it more but coming from my janome 9700 to the 9900 is wonderful! My dealer explained a lot of the highlights. I feel right at home with it so far. It also fits into my table nicely.
i even signed up for my first class! I have not taken a sewing class since high school with the exception of the 2-3 classes I took to learn how to piece a quilt top. I usually figure techniques out on my own and from reading this Board and others. The class will teach techniques that I have not attempted. It starts in 2014. Should be fun!
