I just got the 6600, and it's my third Janome, so yes, I'm sold on them. I just had a quick look comparing your machine to the Janome Gem Platinum. That's what seems to be the favourite for those purchasing a machine to take to classes and leave their high end (and HEAVY) one at home. NOt a lot of difference in the two, so I think you have a good one!
For the price difference and the number of DGDs that will use it, you'll never regret that little extra $$
(..... besides now you have one to take to classes yourself! :) BONUS!!!)

They started out on my Janome 9000 and now love my Janome 6600. It is just way too much machine for them to use without me in the room. I need one that will have speed control to keep my younger GD from "flooring" the pedal. The one you got looks really cute and I may have to go look at it. I am sure my husband would prefer I look at one for them instead of the Horizon 12000 I looked at Sat for me!!

I love the direction this thread is going; Maybe I'll have moderators add to the title in reference to teaching GC to sew.
