    Just heard and saw the brocher on this machine yesterday at my LQS. It sounds nice but since I have a Janome 8900, brand new and an embrodery machine, that is fairly new will not even look at it when it comes into the LQS. Maybe 20 yrs from now, if I am still around and still sewing.

    Does this have the larger harp, comparable to the 7700 or the new 8900 ?
    Doesn't appear to from photo, can't be sure, but I didn't see the harp dimensions given, it was blank on that ... ?

    I keep hoping that Janome will come out with one to compete with the HQ Sweet 16, sit down model.

    No, it's a small harp. It's a nice looking machine, but I haven't seen it put through it's paces yet. I went to look at it, but got irritated with the shop owner and left before I could see the machine work. LOL But it was beautiful.

    I wish we HAD a Janome dealer in our area! I have New Home Memory Craft 6000 that needs a good cleaning/servicing. There is a place in a town 60 miles from here that will do it, but they do not sell the Janome line. My machine is probably 25+ years old and I sewed everything from kids clothes to prom dresses to quilts with it. I still like it the best for the two different alphabets - one script and one block letters - on it. I do have a Pfaff machine that I like, but a year after I purchased it, the shop owner sold out and left the area, so now I have no service for THAT machine, either! Such is life! Have a great day, everyone!

    Well I guess my previous post was wishful thinking because I just got an email from a local dealer quoting me a price of $4999.00 for the MC9900 availability mid March. :-( More than I would want to spend on a machine.

    I bought mine for about $2400. Top of the line is the 1500? then the 1200, then the 9900 I thought....may be wrong. I really like mine. Just got it and the dealer here in Spokane gives life time lessens to learn. I really love this machine! No regrets....
