I finally got a MC6600P and it's my dream machine I can only imagine how awesome the one you have is! I have several older machines that I used for years & loved them all & then came across a small Janome jem silver for $30 at an Estate Sale....that did it for me, so quiet & smooth so it was on the research hunt for bigger harp space fr a Janome, found it on Ebay $500 less than brand new & sews like a charm. "IF" I ever upgrade you can bet it will be a Janome! BTW my 13yr grand daughter claimed the Jem as her's.
