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.

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.
