I bought mine in November and paid full price $2999.00 with nothing else thrown in....I live north of Houston. I wish I would have tried to "bargain", but the LQS owner told me right off the bat that "Janome wouldn't let them sell it for less". I realize now that probably wasn't the case, but it's too late to do anything about it. I quilted two quilts with it and was amazed at how it trugged over the heavy batting without a quiver. I still work and we keep busy with grandkids, so I haven't had time to really play with it. Someday....

Sounds like most everyone is pleased with their Horizons. I seriously looked at it and the Bernina 820 last month. The Janome dealer near me wasn't at all helpful and wouldn't do anything less than the $2,999 sticker price. I ended up going with the 820 but I'm sure the Horizon is a great machine (a big part of my decision ended up being based on the dealers of both machines). I wish I had a friend nearby that had one so I could check it out and play on it for awhile. :)

How do you get to the Janome Horizon Yahoo group? I bought mine in august and love it. However, my dealer is in another city (the one here is terrible) and 2 of my friends and I went for classes. They knew nothing. We knew more than they did. Wish I knew where to get some good classes. Like how to do memory, etc.

I've had my 7700 since last June. I do like it. Just got a new plate in the mail from Janome today. My dealer had replaced mine months ago. I put this one away just in case. The tiny APC sliding piece broke off the first one. I understand the new one has a stronger spring. The O2 foot is much better than the old one. The company has a 25 year warranty on this machine so they should stand behind it. I paid $2995 for mine. You will enjoy it. It does not however correct operator errors which is my problem. If you turn your fabric the wrong way even with a nice seam it is still wrong. Hence, I love my ripper.

Go to www.yahoo.com and sign up to get an email address with Yahoo. You then become a Yahoo member and are able to sign up for their groups. I belong to the ones for my sewing machines and they are very helpful.

I saw the Horizon at the Vermont Quilt Festival last year. They were taking trade-ins and selling them for $2400. One of my friends bought one and absolutely loves it.

I was a die-hard Janome fan until I got to use a Bernina one day. There is a huge difference in doing FMQ on my old Memory Craft 9000 compared to my used (and also old) Bernina 180. The Bernina is exceptional at FMQ.

I would like to hear from the people who have the Horizon how they like it for FMQ? I get "whiskers" on the backside on my old Janome and I'm hoping they have updated the machine so that doesn't happen with newer machines anymore.
