I would suggest finding the Janome 6600, love the Accufeed. While I have both the Janome 6600 and the Husquvarna Sapphire 875, both are fabulous machines and I would recommend either brand. But, if I were to do alot of quilting on my domestic machine...Janome 6600 with Accufeed would get my vote.

I have the 7700 janome with the Accufeed. I was a very new sewer with no lessons. It took me a while to figure it all out but now I LOVE it!! If you can I would buy the 7700 you can FMQ queen size quilts fairly easy I have heard of folks quilting king size on their 7700. Being able to quilt my own quilts and the accufeed make the sewing machine worth the money. Love the space under the machine.

Probably all the Janome owners will say 'Janome' and all the Viking owners will say 'Viking' - I'm a Janome girl so guess what I'd say? :mrgreen:
Seriously, check out allbrands like Jacquie said but you probably will love either one because it will be YOURS! :-D

Enjoy your new machine.. I looked and looked at the 6500 and 6600 even sewed on 6500 for a long time but the one thing I couldnt get past was the tension dial.. I felt like it was always in my face.. I dont know maybe it is just me. My mom gave me a Designer I and from what I can tell the features are very comparable to the 875 (except 875 has a bigger thoat space and is alot newer.. designer I has embroidery which I dont use) I LOVE the pressure foot up down .... Have fun with the machine.. I thought it was great and it would have been my first choice had I not sewn on the desinger 1.. Then I changed my mind and thought when I could afford a new machine I would go for the 7700 because the tension isnt in your face.. but now I am swaying more towards the 875 I think I will have to go sew on one at the store..
Have fun. I am sure you will love it.
