If you had the 7700 you will love the new 12000--it is the7700 plus the 11000all in one and upgraded. It comes with all the hoops, tons of feet, the clear extension table. I have mine but was only able to use it for a week before I left for my winter home and to leave it behind. Several of the gals I sew with traded in their 11000 and the 7700 to get just one machine to do it all. You do need to try one out to be sure but I would recommend it.
