Hi Bethany:
Welcome to the board I am sure you will enjoy it since everyone is so kind and willing to help. I just recently got a Janome 7700QCP and I love it. I think the retail price is going for about $2499 but you should shop around for a better price. The reason I like it is that it has an 11inch space from the needle to the right. I am just beginning to machine quilt so this has helped a lot. Good Luck
