The one at Walmart is not as wide. That is way the one at Knols costs a lot more. The Jamone is a big machine so I am not sure if it will fit inside the cabinet. My hubby wants me to get a nice wood one but I think if it fits that one would be fine...that way I will not feel bad if it does get bumped or nicked.

I got a package deal - machine, table, travel case on wheels, 12 pack thread, blue dot bobbin case and binding tool - $3180 out the door.

I don't know what state you are in.........I (we) purchased ours near Lancaster, PA.

My Elna is a big machine and it has a few inches to spare but I'm not sure how the Horizon is proportioned in comparison so I'd definitely measure it before buying any table, desk or cabinet with the thought to cut a hole to sit the Horizon down into. The 60" measurement at Kohl's is when it's all opened up. Sauder has it on their website & gives the dimensions both open & closed. It is the same as the Walmart one. Hopefully you didn't pay what Kohl's wants for it! And, no, it's not "real" wood but it is sturdy and durable. I haven't managed to mess mine up yet. |
I got one just like that at Joann when they were on sale for 189.00 and there is no hole for a sewing machine you just set your machine on top of it.So any machine will fit.
|
I love my Janome Horizon. I traded my 6600 in & got full price for the trade in. I love my dealer. I have a 4800 that I was talked into keeping when I got the 6600. I'm glad I kept it because it is great to take to class or other places because it is much lighter than the other 2. Most of the feet came with my machine, but I will have to check into the blue bobbin & the special needles.
|
I also have the binding tool set for the Janome 7700 but have yet to use it. have any of you girls tried the binding tool? http://janomelife.wordpress.com/2010...omment-page-1/
|
No but I sin because I covet one.
|
Has anyone seen how this works?
|
I have seen a few videos but none that did the corner which is what I would like to see...I did find one that was a PDF but a video would be more helpful. I need to make a small placemat and just do it and figure it out...I just do not have a lot of time to play with it. I have seen people write that once you get the hang of it its awesome...wish they had a better tutorial on it.

This is the sewing cabinet/table I like...trying to figure out if the Jamone will fit. Also FYI, we looked at these cabinets before for DD's machine, but they don't appear to have an insert or drop for machines ... they just sit on top |

I have a MC 9000, but not the 7700. I still love my 9000 and it works fine, so no need to trade it in. A friend does have one and she loves it. The 7700 is much bigger than the 9000/9500. She got hers at the Vermont Quilt Festival for $2400. If you're in Burlington, VT, you might want to wait for the end of June and go to Festival to check out a demo. The shop called Bittersweet always vends there and they will have the 7700 to play with. |
I have the 7700 and I LOVE it,no complaints. My shop owner offered a super good class on learning all the functions of the machine and let us try many of the feet you can purchase for it. I think anyone should take a class if it's available. It is a marvelous machine!!

I have found several sizes of machine quilting needles and it is important to get the correct size. How do you determine which size fits your project?

How much does the binding attachment cost?

I live in Canada, but my dealer told me that the binding attachment is $150.00 and every time she demos it, she sells it. I'm hoping to see a demo soon... It sounds wonderful.

qulting needle 14 is for thicker material. I use material tht is it a tighter weave...stuff like whayt they use for curtains. I can get it for 3.99 a yard at a fabric store near buy. Its nice and heavy. quilting needle #11 is good for regular material and going through the batting.

So far the only size table for the 7700 that I know of is the Koala...sooo expensive. I really want one that I can put inside the table that you can not see the sewing machine when not in use

Carolaug, thanks for the help with the needles!

I like the idea of just having my husband fixing the instead to make it fit...that just may work. The purpose for the table is so that I can put it away and make it look like just regular furniture. My hubby would love me to sew in the back room...but I like sewing in the kitchen/diningroom.

This is the sewing cabinet/table I like...trying to figure out if the Jamone will fit. Have you considering buying an old wooden table and having someone cut the appropriate size hole and build a bracket shelf under it? I saw Eleanor Burns and her son do this on one of her tv shows several years ago. Lots of area to the left & behind to support the weight of all those quilts you'll be working on with your new toy--LOL! There was a picture of my table on the board. Last fall or late summer, I believe. |
Thanks...I think I am just going to have to try it...I have been chicken...

The blue bobbin case has a little different tension setting on it and is specifically designed for free motion quilting. There are 2 small 'detail' changes to the bobbin itself to avoid birdnests and tension issues.
