The 7700 does not have separate bobbin winder--a big disappointment for an otherwise great machine.

Congratulations on both of your purchases. You will love them both.

Yes and it cost me with my coupon about $3.00. Janome wanted $35.00. I'd rather buy $35.00 worth of material. Roz

what cost you 3.00 if you don't mind me asking?

For Marlet: If you don't mind, can u tell me how much trade in u got for your 6600? I've been sort of thinking of trading my 6600 in for the horizon, but just "sort of". lol.

The large cone thread stand. Roz

I just received the new 1/4 " foot from Janome. They mailed that pretty quick. For those of you who don't know there has been a problem with the foot we got from the 7700 machine we bought. Roz

Hi Sassy . I thought we could wind the bobbin while we sewed. Guess I'd better check it out.idid you get your new 1/4" foot? Roz

Hi Sassy. I just read on page 14 that we could use the extra spool pin towind another bobbin without unthreading the machine so that helps a little. Roz

Sash, I also had a table that I had purchased the year prior to the trade-in. My 6600 was 4yrs old and used a lot, along with the special table, I was allowed $1600 against the MSRP or $3000. Then I splurged and bought a Roberts sewing table. The combination of the two - the 7700 and the table - have made me a very happy camper (quilter) that is. LOL
