Congratulations. I have a Janome 4000, and she has served me well and made lots and lots of quilts, as well as clothes, drapes, curtains, etc. I had a lot of fun when I first got the machine, buying rayon thread and trying out all the decorative stitches. I took a simple block, sew squares to two corners of a block, press back to make a triangle, and when the corners met with 4 triangles, I stitched around the square using lots of embroidery stitches and used a lot of rayon thread in every color I could find.

I have the 6600 and love it. I suggest you join the Yahoo group. there is so much incredible info in their files and lots of members that can answer any question. There are a couple of recurring problems that you may want to be aware of so you dont think your machine is broken. One is that every so often the thread jumps out of the take up lever and creates chaos and bad words til you realize what is wrong. The other is that it seems to have a hard time going over bulky intersections. There is a new foot O2 that helps with this problem. The Yahoo group knows a lot more about this machine than most dealers do!

I also have a Janome 6600 and love it! I have had it for 4 years now. But i saw the new Janome Horizons and now I want to trade my 6600 in for it. I used my 6600 for FMQ and it worked really good but the Horizons has a 11-inch throat!!!
