I like the idea of just having my husband fixing the instead to make it fit...that just may work. The purpose for the table is so that I can put it away and make it look like just regular furniture. My hubby would love me to sew in the back room...but I like sewing in the kitchen/diningroom.
I have that table but I didn't pay anywhere near what Kohls wants for it. I did find it considerably cheaper here: http://www.accent-furniture-direct.c...AU1134_5497794 but I'm not familiar with this vendor. I got mine at Walmart on a Black Friday sale a few years ago. Hubby cut a hole in it and built a shelf at just the right level to keep my Elna 7200 (very similar to a Janome mc6500/mc6600) level with the top. There are a few more inches to spare so the new Horizon 7700 might also fit but I would definitely be taking a tape measure with me to the Janome dealer to make sure before plunking down $250 for it. I'm sure it will sit on top just fine, though.
Have you considering buying an old wooden table and having someone cut the appropriate size hole and build a bracket shelf under it? I saw Eleanor Burns and her son do this on one of her tv shows several years ago. Lots of area to the left & behind to support the weight of all those quilts you'll be working on with your new toy--LOL!
There was a picture of my table on the board. Last fall or late summer, I believe.

This is the sewing cabinet/table I like...trying to figure out if the Jamone will fit.

Thanks...I think I am just going to have to try it...I have been chicken...
Hi Carol. I just re-read your post and realized that you said that you have the binding attachment tool. I thought you said that you "want" it. I found a good photo instruction on Janome.com - here is the link: http://janomelife.wordpress.com/2010...omment-page-1/ They recommend that you follow the steps provided with the tool up to #4 and then follow their posted steps. It looks like the cat's pyjamas!!

The blue bobbin case has a little different tension setting on it and is specifically designed for free motion quilting. There are 2 small 'detail' changes to the bobbin itself to avoid birdnests and tension issues.
