Along with the blue dot bobbin case, I hope you also got the FMQ Foot Set. It has a foot holder with three interchangeable feet. The two together makes FMQ and the set up much easier!
For anyone considering a new machine ... I highly suggest you compare the specs from one machine to the other and get to know the differences between them. You'll find some machines virtually the same with slight differences. Not always the upper level machine is what you want or need as sometimes the lower machine might have a feature your "really" want.
The 6600 and 7700 are very similar ... slight differences, with pros and cons for each. In general, if you like one you will like the other, though it's important to know why one is for you more so than the other ... and too, other brands!
Have FUN shopping DebQ2 ... and I'll look forward to hearing the final verdict and outcome!
