Congrats... As a Janome gal also, I love their machines and I just know you will be happy learning and playing with all the new bells and whistles...
Enjoy.

I sew with Babylock Ellegante with Version 2 upgrade. I saw the Horizon at the shop while shopping one day. The separate bobbin winding feature spoiled me right away! No, I did not get a new quarter inch foot--I have a foot for that for my Babylock and my Bernina machines. Love them both!
Personally, I would rather be able to wind multiple bobbins and run my sewing at the same time! It saves bunches in time and threading constantly. Janome missed the boat when it dropped that from the Horizon. The 6600 machine has independent bobbin winding--I don't see why they did not keep that in place for the Horizon machine.

I am a Janome fan and now have the 6600p. But with me it was my Christmas money that bought it and other things as well. This year I am going to buy about a dozen new bobbins as several have broken for one reason or another---No I did not jump on them when they jumped onto the floor. The same bobbin is used in my new/second hand Brother1500D so I will not have to get extras for that machine as well.

Love my 6600P. I have discovered that the Janome pre-wound bobbins are wonderful. You get 12 Janome bobbins wound with something akin to the Bottom Line thread - 8 white & 4 black all for under $10. I swear they get more thread on them than I can.

Thank you Quiltswithconvicts. I will look into it next time I go into my LQS.

So do I. This morning I helped an elderly man in a wheel chair holding a large box full of groceries, I do not know how he could hold it -- it was heavy. I think it made his day. I am always helping some stranger I meet in the street. The Capricorn in me I guess.
