It sounds like you've already made up your mind. 100 miles isn't what I consider "near my home" but I guess compared with a state halfway across the country it would be. lol. Good luck and enjoy when you get it! It's supposed to be a really really amazing machine.

I have a friend who went to PIQF and purchased that machine for $2400 --- through Ray's Sewing Machine Center in San Jose. She said she will get 100% trade in value should she decide to do that later. She said it was not a show special. You might want to Google them.
Good luck.

As much as I want one, I'm going to wait until the hoopla dies down...for two reasons i) I just had unexpected shoulder surgery this past Tuesday, so, no quilting and no paycheck for the next 12 wks...and 2)the price will stabalize within the next 12 months. When the 6600 came out, it was the same thing...price varied from $1899.00 to $2499.99 and after 6-12 months the price evened out...I paid $1899.00 for mine.

When I just visited my dealer, they have a Christmas Special going. The machine, table, rolling sewing tote, and thread for $2499.00.

I checked this one at the Houston show. It was nice, but the man tells me that other than the storage of the extra feet and the light at the needle, oh, and the pop up chart of the stitches they were the same working machine as my Janome 6600. I love mine and I do not think I would trade it in for the Horizon. You made a good choice.[/quote]

Thanks! Since the 6600 was on sale at my LQS, it ended up being about half the cost of the 7700. I would have had a hard time justifying spending so much on a machine which would then, of course, need fabric to create. Would be nice if the sale would have included some free fabric!

Also the 7700 has a convertible plate. It automatically switches from single hole to zig zag. Plus the extra throat space and I think some more stitches.

I have decided to hold off ....as people have said the price has yet to settle.

If someone in New Hampshire can get the same thing for $400 less, I'm willing to bet it will be available in my 'home' area that in the near future.

I was surprised when one dealer quoted a 'retail' price as several hundred dollars higher than an other dealer I had talked with.

It pays to ASK here and to know what is available.

Thanks all!

That's a good deal. Most around here are selling them for $2999. That incluudes the machine and acrylic expansion. You'll love the machine. I have one and it's really nice. Make sure you get the new 1/4 foot with it.

Yes to the new 1/4 inch foot. That seems to be the only item people have a real issue with.

I think it is a fabulous deal. The place I am looking at one wants 2900 for just the machine.
