I quite with a small group on Wednesday night, we have been together about 5 years. We all have the Janome 6600, and love the machine. I have quilted for 38 years and this is the most quilting friendly machine I have ever owned. I would not trade my 6600 for ANY machine on the market. I also belong to a Quilt Guild and we have a Cottage Group just for people with a Janome 6600.
