I have the 6600 Janome and love it...I bought it for the harp space and the ability to FMQ on it. Love the start stop button and all features. I programed the serpentine stitch into the memory and use it on nearly every quilt I do. I got mine thru Ebay on a buy it now offer of 999.00 ... Held my breath till it arrived and it had all the accessories with it as stated. My only concern is it does not have a narrow throat and is difficult to hem pants. Good luck with your search... It has never been serviced except for cleaning that I do with it.
