    Congratulations!! I have the 6600 and love it so far. I could barely get dh to agree to it so the 7700 was pretty much out of the ballpark. lol. I bet you'll love it!

    Congratulations! She is a lovely machine isn't she? I got mine about a month ago and am totally in LOVE.
    I'm even starting to like the built in walking foot - at first it took me a bit to get used to it.
    I've even put mine on my Inspira frame and it works great - once I removed the handlebars so she could fit on the carriage!
    When I want to do tabletop - I put it on the table.
    When I want to frame quilt = I put it on the frame.
    It's the best of both worlds.
    AND, I still have my 'old" Janome 6260 as a backup.

    Let me know when you find a machine that DOES make dinner, and I'll be the first in line to get one!
    congratulations on your new "baby!"

    Now that you have a built-in cone holder or 2, you need to go to Connecting Threads and get yourself the whole line of threads on the cones. Their thread is wonderful - almost lint-free!!! 5000 yards for $9.99 Comes in a whole range of neutrals from black to white and all in-between. I'm on my 2nd cone of cream.

    While there, you can pick yourself up some of the most luscious, silky batiks for only $5.96 a yard!

    Congratulations on your new baby. I have the 6600 and I think my favorite feature (there are so many) is the auto thread cutter!

    Happy shopping. And many hours of happy stitching.
