I love mine too. I've had it for about 18 months, and it was bought after much agonising as it was a lot of money from my limited savings. It's been worth it just to be able to do FMQ without endless fights with the tension, which was the case with my old machine. So far I've used it mostly for quilting and I still have a lot of exploring to do. I do tend to go back to my Janome 4800 when using the walking foot as it produces such high-quality stitching with it, and I haven't properly got to grips yet with the 7700's built-in one. The one issue I have with it is that it doesn't like bulk, and I have to use another machine if there are several layers of fabric.
