I did it! Went to a Janome dealer today and they had a used 6600 for $1000. I also bought the table it fits into. Now I have to put the table together and get it all set up. I am so excited! It includes all the free lessons I want and free classes on other things. The only drawback is we won't be home tomorrow :cry: for me to play with it.

I have the same machine and love it! I have had it for 4 years and have had very few problems with it.

The table is all put together, moved things around to make room, put the machine into new table, unpack the accessories....no power cord! Crap, crap, crap.....called the store and they will put it in the mail (we live almost an hour away and can't get there before store closes today and out of town all day tomorrow). So disappointed that I won't get to play around with it today.

Hope the mail is fast : )

Is there anything more exciting than a new sewing machine? No, no, no!

Mazel tov on your new machine (great price - wow!). I bought a Husqvarna and I like it thus far but I don't have a large enough area around my machine to really feel comfortable. now - I'm giving serious thought to a serging machine. Found a new one on Ebay for $700.

DonnaC 10-26-2011 06:09 PM

Lucky you! Hope you enjoy many happy hours of sewing on your new machine.

sewingsuz 10-26-2011 06:30 PM

great for you! Have fun!

sewbeadit 10-26-2011 06:31 PM

Way cool, good for you.

jdiane318 10-26-2011 06:34 PM

You will love, love, love this machine. I especially love the thread cutter, saves a lot of time and thread. Enjoy it.

LindaM49 10-26-2011 06:46 PM

Lucky you. That is the machine I want to buy in the spring when I have enough money saved. I said this here the other day...I could put it on the card but I really want to pay for it myself. When hubby pays for stuff and I try to pay him back later he usually says...no, forget it. He has done that for me so many times so this time I refuse to have him say that. Anyway.....

Have fun with your new machine.

maryjbird 10-26-2011 06:56 PM

I have one too. Great machine

deedum 10-26-2011 07:35 PM

Yep, nice machine. I don't have one, but many of my friends does and I have use theirs. Very nice!

jansquiltn 10-27-2011 02:56 AM

Congrats! I'm taking Bernina Software classes and watching the webinars and have learned soooo much and will continue to take classes.

Babs194068 10-27-2011 03:13 AM

I have had mine for a year and I love it. Just think of the fun you will have when you do sit down and start sewing. Try all the new stitches it's fun.

pscott392 10-27-2011 03:17 AM

Congratulations. I love my Janome.

sewmorethings 10-27-2011 04:31 AM

Congrats, i know your doing the happy dance.....

gardnergal970 10-27-2011 04:35 AM

You won't be disappointed. Lucky you that you got the table to go with it. The thread cutter and knees lift...look Mom, no hands...are my favorite things . I don't know now I sewed without them.

Robbi5 10-27-2011 05:03 AM

I bought the same machine used a year ago, and just love it!

RV Quilter 10-27-2011 05:05 AM

Congrats!! I just got mine in July and LOVE it.

Pieces2 10-27-2011 05:10 AM

Congratulations on your new sewing machine!
It is always so much fun when we bring one home, new or used, still new for us. Hope you can find time all weekend to play. LOL

carolynjo 10-27-2011 05:21 AM

Congratulations on a new machine and a great price! I know you are chomping at the bit to play, but the cable will come soon enough. Enjoy.

GlitzyMe 10-27-2011 05:38 AM

Fantastic! So make a play date for Fri?

karenpatrick 10-27-2011 05:40 AM

Congratulations. Hope you have a long and happy relationship.

Sierra 10-27-2011 05:51 AM

You are going to love it. I've had one for a two or three years now and I absolutely love it. I have "misused" it by quilting through 3 layers of batting and 5 or 6 layers of fabric (did have to get a new bobbin case after that bit). I quilt my own quilts, even large queens because I can roll it up tightly and stick it through the long throat space. The only thing I don't like about it is the cursive lettering. I've had to stick with the printed lettering. Take that one down side and you should be happy with the 100 upsides! Have fun! :)

Happy Linda 10-27-2011 05:53 AM

So happy for you.

Quiltbeagle 10-27-2011 06:01 AM

Congratulations! You're going to love it!
