I also have a 6600 which I really love. Am also considering an embroidery/sewing/quilting machine. Are you aware that Janome is introducing a new machine this September and it is supposed to be a new TOL machine (replacing the 1100)? I've heard the price is enough to choke on but am still anxiously awaiting its arrival. If I'm going to buy an embroidery machine, I want one that is uses the most up to date technology. I don't want to spend that kind of money on outdated technology. I'd prefer to stick with Janome if I can. Good luck with your search. Enjoy your retirement. Once you get used to a new pace of life, it is wonderful!!

Hi Geri! Welcome to retirement and to this wonderful quilting board. You will love it here. Can't advise you on a machine.....I'm still using my 25 year old Pfaff :-D
