What do you think of it?
BUY IT , YOU WON'T BE SORRY! |
I have the Janome's 3500, 9000. amd 10001. Never a problem with any of them. I love my Janome's. Two of my friends have the 6600 and said how wonderful they are. Everyone in our group has Janome's of various levels and no one ever seems to have a problem wtih any of them. Marge

I LOVE my older Janome MC9000.

I've had my 6600 since last September (08) and haven't had a lick of trouble. I probably use it between 15 and 20 hours per week. I love this machine!! I've pieced, quilted, free motion, hemmed jeans, put patches on a leather vest and lots of other stuff and it didn't blink in the least. The decorative stiches are fun and easy to do. I haven't yet tried the twin needle, but that is next on my "to try" list. I would recommend this machine to anyone. The dealer I bought it from gave me three years free maintenance and I finally took it into the shop in September just cause I figured it needed a good cleaning after a full year.

I am going to check out some others tomorrow, including the babylock espire.

Yeah, that's what happened to me a few months ago....only my old sear kenmore coud't be repaired, it need refurbishing as it was well used! It was 29 years old and well used indeed! I was tempted by the new BabyLocks, but bought a new Sear Kenmore again! Turns out Janome makes the Sears Kenmore machines...Hello! A Great machine once again for little $$. So, if wisdom prevails and it's time for a new one....shop around a bit, try Sears, Try ebay, and a few other retailers who discount...you might have you're new love!

Love my 6600! Would buy another if needed-er-wanted-er-oh heck!
Have sewn on single fleece, double fleece, sheers for curtains, quilt blocks, paper pieced, fancy stitches, monogramed, embroidered quilt labels (after entering into system), and love the auto-thread cutter feature especially doing PP. Love the walking foot and 1/4 " foot. I even used the buttonhole maker the other day and got it on the first try. Sew easy. There was a thread on here and someone was trying to sell their slightly used one for around $1300 I think. Don't know if she sold it or not. |
I have one and I love it!!!!!! I also got the table that goes with it and that's great too. The machine has so many stitches, the variable speed is wonderful and the walking foot system is the best I have had - be sure to get all the walking feet that go with it - esp the 1/4" walking foot!
