I think you got a good deal, I love Janome's and they are not junk.

I believe your 7700 will do you just fine. I got mine last November.

I've found that most things "break" after the warranty is over, anyway. :)

Congrats on your new baby! So happy for you. The Horizon is a nice machine. Don't forget pics!

Keep us posted, pic. Good luck on your decision. I have a janome that I love, but too small. I would love to get janome that has a harp area big enough to quilt with.. :mrgreen:

Pics of my new baby :D My husband named her "Nomi" (from Janome)

So far, I've FMQ'd half a baby quilt (and almost wept it was soo nice) and tried out the alphabets (also great!) and a few of the other fancy stitches. I'm figuring out which ones to use for my first ever quilt label (for said baby quilt)!

Here she is...

Here's the quilt I'm finishing up on her - this photo was taken on my old machine

So is that the very top of the line Horizon with the 11" harp? Wow. I am so happy for you. Looks like you and Nomi are bonded!

Nomi is definitely a beauty! Isn't it wonderful how much nicer the extra harp space makes it! Oh I so happy and excited for you! The quilt is looking adorable. Can't wait to see you quilt label! You and Nomi have good time!

I'm thinking if she was told that a Juki would be better, its because the throat depth is larger on the Juki. The smaller the throat, the smaller width you can quilt on a frame. Jukis have a 9 in throat. I got about 6 inches of quilt space with mine. Congrats on your new baby! I see many many hours of happy sewing coming your way!

I have Brother machines, too, but a very good friend has Janomes and loves them.
