I have the Janome 6700, and I love it, the only thing is the automatic needle threader is a bummer...why it's there I have no idea,worked for about 2 months, had it repaired lasted another couple months then quit again, so I just said forget it..thread it myself..not worth the time and effort of taking it in to have it work a couple months then nothing...other than that, throat space is great, and the monogramming is fantastic for my labels..I am still learning about all the features but it just takes time..hope you find what you are looking for..
