To buy or not to buy that is the question
#42
My husband bought me the Janome 6600P, last month, and I love it. Check it out, there is nothing cheap about it, and when I quilt, it does not move...another important factor for me. And it is not heavy, or bulky to carry.
Also, it is very quiet, even for the speed. I like the high speed, I do not like a slow machine, because I did industrial sewing, for many years. My husband even commented on how quiet it is.

I have the Janome6500 and the 6600 is the upgrade. I love my 6500, and if my budget at the time would have allowed I would have gotten the 6600 instead. It has some great features, so that would be my personal recommendation as I know nothing about the Elna. I do know that Elna makes a great sewing machine too.

Hi
I am in Sydney
I have the 6600P which is a great machine
It does require you to work out the settings to suit you on the 1/4 foot but I have no problems with that
Some of the accu feed feet I dont use
It is a very heavy machine so not suitable to cart around
But I have had Janomes for a very long time and never had any trouble with them
Depending on what you want to pay they are releasing a new machine the 7700 Horizon
You may want to look at that
There has been a lot of discussion about it but it is probably over $3000

gollytwo.... I've seen quotes on the new Horizon from $2995 to $3400. Too much for me but I would love the machine, I don't 'need' it... I have the Janome 6500 and love it. It is the 'greedy' part of me that wants more, more stitches, more throat/bed space 11 inches instead of 9 inches, more new stuff.

I have a 6600 and I did not know that it has an attached walking foot or the other thing you mentioned. I have been very dissatisfied with it but, evidentally, I don't know much about it. I live 150 miles from the store where I bought it (one way) so I haven't been back for lessons. Guess I'd better go.
