i have loved my janome 6600. it's 5 yrs old. i have prob put at least 60 quilts thru it. and even quilted them. i've always figured it costs enough for the material, batting and backing to then pay for the quilting to give them away. when i lst started doing quilts i had top of the line sears, but it wasn't made for this quilting stuff. a 1978 model. i went thru several $300 machines, and one $600 quilting machine, before my janomee. my local independent quilt store recommended this janome, and had told me that it would be the last machine i owned. she was wrong!! but i still love it.

Thanks so much for all the info--not too long at all. And now I'm jealous! I do have the basting motif, but really didn't realize what it is for. Now I will try it. One thing that intrigues me is the dual feed. Is that different from the walking foot? That was one feature I liked much more on my Pfaff. To engage the dual feed all you had to do was bring down a thing that went between the sides of the machine foot. You didn't have to change feet. I really appreciate your taking the time to tell me all this. ~Judy
