I absolutely adore my Lucy, which is the Janome 7700. I also have a Pfaff. I just upgraded from a Pfaff Creative 2.0 to a Pfaff Creative 4.0 (her name will be Ethyl). I embroider and find it convenient to have both machines going at the same time. One of the most important factors is your dealer support. I have excellent support from my Pfaff dealer and crappy support from the Janome dealer. Had he supported me better I would have purchased another Janome. As it is when Lucy gets old I will be talking to my Pfaff dealer. I find I love both these lines.

thanks for the help, i am leaning toward the janome, i found one for 1700.00; which is the price before the increase

My 7700 will be two in June. I love her. A short adjustment period but smooth sailing ever since. Hasn't seen the shop since she was new.

Well I have the Pfaff Expression 4....... And having problems with the top tension.. It's going back to the dealer of the second time..I've had 2 Pf affs before and they were great machines....

I have the 6600 and a 760 that I take to class. Love them both.Try them out and see which one you like best. the 6600 has the Accu-feed, thread cutter, needle threader, and when I had surgery on my right heel, I used the stop/start button exclusively. I have used it since when I'm having trouble with the right leg. It also has lots of decorative stitches, snap on feet, except for the Accu-feed feet. I really like my Janome's.

I have been looking for a higher end quilting machine and need some help from everyone here. Which one of these machines would be more reliable, lower cost for repairs etc. I am thinking they are both excellent machine but just done know which would be a better investment. Hoping for some input...thanks so much

well I purchased my Janome 6600 today....I love it, I cant be on long.............need to get back to my baby, lol
thanks all for your input in helping me with my choices |
had the same problem with my pfaff quilt expression 4.0 and discovered I had put the bobbin casing in wrong so the thread underneath bunched up. I have had a few of other problems mentioned in this forum but have always solved these as it s always user error. I love this machine and have learnt a lot from it. happy quilting

They both have good features. I've used a Pfaff for the past 10 years and have had no problems. It all comes down to how comfortable you feel at the machine. Bernina and I didn't work out for some reason.
