my mil got a really nice brother for xmas and i decided i needed a new baby too as i didnt have a spare machine except a singer that turned out to be a lemon that i had bought intending to use as a spare. i also wanted a machine with a few more stitches i didnt buy the same brother as my mil but i got the machine of my dreams it sews sooo smooth and is relatively easy to operate which i was worried about seeing as how im not too good with techie stuff ive kicked myself at least a dozen times for not doing it sooner, i vote for the brother !!!

I have a cheap brothers, and one of the first things I really took notice of was it insists on using the bobbins for that machine. I went thru some of my stuff, and you really could tell the difference in them. Just to see, without running the machine, I dropped one of my singer bobbins in, and it just rattled. Uh, no. I may not be very experienced at sewing,but I do know I am not ruining my machine for the price of a bobbin, lol.

I rounded up everything and sorted the old stuff into a gallon sized ziplock, just in case. SOmehow I can't bring myself to throw any of it out.

My Dad was a tool and die maker and very handy fixing things. He always told us "don't buy a car (or insert item) the first year out. All the bugs haven't been worked out yet." I always go back to that when I'm making a big purchase. But I do miss out on being the "first" with anything new!

I'm really sorry you're having problems with your 7700. I've had mine for nearly a year and really love it - no problems at all! For FMQ, I use the special bobbin case and it's been fine. Make sure you always use Janome bobbins. Have you been back to your sewing machine shop with your problems?

Also, make sure you use Janome bobbins.

I have nearly always had Janome machines and just love them. Some years ago, I decided to have a change and bought a Brother, but regreted it almost immediately and traded it in. It's worth noting that pre-wound bobbins should never be used on a Janome!

I have the Laura Ashley Innovis 2000 for about 1 year now. I am so happy with it. People tell me I am crazy because I have a Bernina 440 QE that now sits in the closet. The Brother machine has all the specialty features I need for a fraction of the cost of a Bernina. So far the only problems I have had were operator initiated through my lack of reading the directions!
