    Default Difference? Janome 6300..6500..6600

    Hi.. Can all you Janome owners tell me why I shouldn't buy a 6300, opposed to the 6500/6600.? I understand there are more stitches on the other machines, but seems like the 6300 would do all I would want. Also, another question. How does OUTLET sellers on Ebay sell the 6300 for $999. and the rest of the sellers price is $1199..Thanks for any input...

    I'll be following this thread as I'm interested in the 660, but wonder if I can save a few bucks ans still get most of the features on one of the other two

    I don't know about the differences, but apparently Janome will not honor a warranty unless you have purchased the machine from an authorized dealer.

    I got a Janome 6600, and love it. The reason I chose that over the 6300 and 6500 was the bigger throat area (which makes a huge difference for quilting), plus the accu-feed system. I got mine from a dealer for $1299.

    Ebay sellers don't have a shop, overhead or employees to help you learn your machine. And no warranty. Save a few hundred dollars now and pay that and probably more later in repairs etc. Beware...

    I don't know what the 6300 is. I have a 6500 and it has the larger throat space. The 6600 is just like the 6500 with a few extra features such as the acufeed. It came out after I purchased my 6500 so I don't know much about it. I love my 6500. I really don't need anything else.

    The 6600 has the accufeed system (built in walking foot) and it is wonderful! I do not sew without it (unless fmq).

    If you're willing to purchase a used machine (from people trading up, etc) from a dealer then you may be able to get a great deal! I picked up my 6600 for $1000 (including all attachments, etc) because someone had owned it for a year and then wanted to buy the Horizon.

    You can compare the 6300 to 6500 - 6600 on the Janome website. Well you can compare in writing anyway.
    I have the MC6500P that I purchased online from America-Sewing. com and I LOVE IT! Got a Great price. I have used several of the stitches but will never really use them all that much. With my machine, I did received the extended table and numberous feet including the walking foot at no addtional charge. Just besure to ask what all is included with the machine you are considering. I actually bought mine sight unseen except online. I have had NO regrets at all! Good luck in your decision.
