Congrats! on the new machine. I just looked at it last saturday and love it. I would love one too but I just think its alot more machine than I would ever need. I am thinking about one of the other quilting machines they make. Any suggestions? The stopperer for me is the price. almost 3 thousand dollars is just too much.
Enjoy that machine and yes we all want to see your latest project.

Canmitch1971, I have the Janome 6600 and I just posted on the Janome yahoo group that I can't reach my knee lift at all, unless I totally shift my body. How did your husband improvise it? Thanks, Sarah in CA

There are so many more stitches and different things you can do with it. I am still learning. The lady who owns the LQS where I got it is getting one too in a couple of weeks. When she gets hers, she will give me a better lesson on it once she gets to know hers better. There is a video tape to watch also.

Marlet, Is it too bold of me to ask what your dealer gave you for trading in your 6600 for the Horizon? I have a 6600 that I just purchase in October 2009,but am thinking of the Horizon (one reason being the adjustable knee lift, among other new features). If you prefer not to say, that's okay.

MSRP is $2999. My dealer has given me a good deal in trading in my 6600 for the Horizon. I'm just sitting and twiddling my thumbs waiting for it to come in. Can't wait to get my hands on my new "baby". Heard nothing but rave reviews from all new owners.

I'm glad to hear people are trading in their 6600's! I want one and if I can get a used one for cheaper, I may just get it sooner than hubby says! I would love the Horizon but Dh just about had a heart attack ove rthe price of a 6600 so I know he wouldn't go for the Horizon. His comment was that it better cut and sew the fabric by itself! :0)

Hi Canmitch
Congratulations and many happy stitching hours....!!!!!!!
My Horizon arrived last Friday... can't believe she has been here a whole week and I have only had one very short play with her....(shows how unwell I have been).
I have the Janome 4900 and the Horizon seems to be a lot smoother and quieter..... but how are you liking that throat!!!!!
Hugs
