Roberts makes one. It includes an electric lift. You can add a quilt table to the back if you like. Check it out.

I have the Janome 7700 and I absolutely love it!!!! I bought it for the sole purpose of doing free motion quilting since it has the 11 inch throat space. I would recommend buying blue bobin case for free motion quilting. It has made ALL the difference in my quilting!!! You can't go wrong with this machine but guess I'm a little biased as I have 3 other Janome machines! :lol:

Hi, I just upgraded to the 7700, now my MC6500 is my backup. Love both machines and wouldn't trade either one. The built in walking foot is a big plus on the 7700 and the extra throat space is great. I'm just jumping into FMQ with it and so far so good with that as well. I really think you will like it if you choose that route. Good luck!

I have one like this and I like it very much did have it in living room till I got my craft room moved around. They are real easy to put together but not sure it is ( real ) wood

I bought a 7700 last summer, primarily for the larger throat space too do FMQ ... and the extra lighting! Both are great. I love it ... however .... I have to report I have had some problems with mine. The main circuit board went out and had to be replaced. A couple months later, the motor that runs the thread cutter mechanism when bad. I'm still waiting for that part to arrive ... I'm assuming the delay is due to the earthquake. But, I can still use it ... doing a bed quilt for my grandson now.

It was suggested on the Janome user group (in Yahoo), that some of the units with serial numbers starting with 1 had some initial quality problems, and guess what, my serial number start with 1! I think units coming out now are probably more stable.

since reading all the raves about the Janome 7700, I am tempted to trade in my original Janome. What price range are we talking about with the 7700? If I can FM more of my quilts, it might be worth an upgrade. Just a ballpark figure will help; thanks :-D

Will be interested to hear what others have to say. I have been looking at this machine also. I have the cabinet that was posted but got mine at Walmart for $129.99.
