    I love my Horizon!!! Can't say enough about it, just love, love, love it.
    90/14 is a great size needle for quilting.

    How does the horizon 7700 compare to a 9700, are they a similar machine, I do not have a dealer anywhere near me, that I have been able to find, so I am going a lot by word of mouth. Thank you.

    This is the sewing cabinet/table I like...trying to figure out if the Jamone will fit.
    I have that table but I didn't pay anywhere near what Kohls wants for it. I did find it considerably cheaper here: http://www.accent-furniture-direct.c...AU1134_5497794 but I'm not familiar with this vendor. I got mine at Walmart on a Black Friday sale a few years ago. Hubby cut a hole in it and built a shelf at just the right level to keep my Elna 7200 (very similar to a Janome mc6500/mc6600) level with the top. There are a few more inches to spare so the new Horizon 7700 might also fit but I would definitely be taking a tape measure with me to the Janome dealer to make sure before plunking down $250 for it. I'm sure it will sit on top just fine, though.

    Have you considering buying an old wooden table and having someone cut the appropriate size hole and build a bracket shelf under it? I saw Eleanor Burns and her son do this on one of her tv shows several years ago. Lots of area to the left & behind to support the weight of all those quilts you'll be working on with your new toy--LOL!

    There was a picture of my table on the board. Last fall or late summer, I believe.
