I am a new owner of a Janome 6600P. When I was doing research I found a yahoo group just for 6500/6600 owners which now also include the Horizon owners. There is so much information and the people are very friendly - just like they are here. You can join at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Janome6500/ it is moderated and you need to get permission but that is quick and painless. Good luck with your new machine.
