People who sew clothes would love to have buttonhole options... :)

a Janome dealer in Savannah, GA sells the Horizon for $2,400.
that includes 2 years free maintenance and repair.

i have one burning question, but am too lazy to drive up to see for myself. (ok. i'm also afraid to go see it in person. i'm a bit of a sewing machine junkie. that would be a more expensive "fix" than i can afford right now. :lol: )

do the Accufeed feet snap on, or do you have to remove the adapter to screw on the whole foot?

I've been really wanting the 6600 but have a feeling my desire is going to change once I see this one! I want a big machine that I can use to quilt myself and the size of this throat is very appealing!

Hmm...when I shopped 18 months ago for a new machine, a larger throat area was a huge priority for me. No Janome or Bernina had them, so I bought a Baby Lock Quest. The throat is 8.75" and the width of the sewing area is 7". It has all the stuff this one has, too--from what I can see. It was $900. I think the new ones now are $1500.

If I were in the market for a non-embroidery machine, this one would be in the running for sure. It looks like a great machine. I especially like the fact that you can switch the needle plate to a straight stitch plate with the touch of a button. Very cool.

$2999 here in Maine also. Guess that is the average going price. Was offered a good trade in for my machine.
Also, has the best lights!! Great for my over 50 eyes lol.

I want one too!!!! But I'm going to wait a year to see if the price comes down. Although it is still priced lower than some brands.

Wow, it looks like a great machine!
