I have seen a few videos but none that did the corner which is what I would like to see...I did find one that was a PDF but a video would be more helpful. I need to make a small placemat and just do it and figure it out...I just do not have a lot of time to play with it. I have seen people write that once you get the hang of it its awesome...wish they had a better tutorial on it.

The user group is pretty helpful, if you want to check it out.

This is the sewing cabinet/table I like...trying to figure out if the Jamone will fit.

Also FYI, we looked at these cabinets before for DD's machine, but they don't appear to have an insert or drop for machines ... they just sit on top

I have a MC 9000, but not the 7700. I still love my 9000 and it works fine, so no need to trade it in. A friend does have one and she loves it. The 7700 is much bigger than the 9000/9500. She got hers at the Vermont Quilt Festival for $2400. If you're in Burlington, VT, you might want to wait for the end of June and go to Festival to check out a demo. The shop called Bittersweet always vends there and they will have the 7700 to play with.

I have the 7700 and I LOVE it,no complaints. My shop owner offered a super good class on learning all the functions of the machine and let us try many of the feet you can purchase for it. I think anyone should take a class if it's available. It is a marvelous machine!!
