I also have the Janome 6600P and love it. But I do want to say-this is my second 6600P. My first one I had to bring to the dealer 4 times the first year with one problem or another. The dealer was also the repairman and was always very good about fixing it at no charge as it was in the warranty period. The 4th time I brought it in with a problem, he said it's a lemon and gave me a brand new one and I have not had one problem with this one. These are computerized machines and can have flaws in the boards so just like a car, you can get a lemon in sewing machines too. I still have faith in Janome sewing machines as I don't know what other machines has all the options I want without being so costly. Good luck with whatever you go with.
