New Sewing Machine
 

If I knew how to do a cartwheel I would do one. I just came home with a brand new Janome 7700. i am so excited. My old Janome, a 4800, has nothing wrong with it except it's old. I know, that's no reason to replace it, but this new machine has so much to offer. My old machine will be my back-up machine. I test drove the 7900 Horizon and couldn't stop thinking about it. My new machine has everything that the 7900 has except it doesn't have the 9 mm width for stitches only 7 mm. Since I don't want embroidery I don't think that will be a problem. I also never do decorative stitches so I don't think I will miss that. I'm so excited to start fooling with it. It comes with lessons (as long as it takes) and I don't know what else it comes with. I guess I should get the book out and start reading. Help me think of a name for her and a name for my 4800 who I never named. I simple called her "the machine". Thanks
I almost forgot--the 4800 has a 6 inch harp and the 7700 has double that. Wow

I have a Janome Horizon 7700 also. You are going to love it. Have fun sewing and quilting with her.

Congrats on your new sewing machine. It's always a little nerve racking for me, trying to learn the stitches, etc.

I have had the 7700 for over a year. and I still love it.

What, no photo :) Let's see her!

Good for you...........lessons, take them twice because there is so much to absorb ......

Good for you. A new machine is always fun to learn .

That's a very good reason! Now you have a good back up machine.

Congrats to you! My 7700 Horizon is called Ruby and I love her! I also had a 4800, sold it and have always regtetted that! Enjoy!

Thanks everyone for your kind words. I need to get my lessons going so I can play with her. I would post a picture but I don't know how to do that. I got up early and arranged all the feet, so now I'm ready to go. I wish the quilt shop was open today!! Selfish huh? I will call tomorrow morning, maybe she can give me a quick lesson on Monday.
