    The nearest dealers and quilt shops even Hobby Lobby or Joanns are over an hour's drive for me. I drive 2 1/2 hours one way to buy fabric at my favorite place. But it's common for me to drive half a day, shop, spend the night and come home the next day if I need some me time. One day I won't be able to do that but until then I say let's go!

    I just bought the 6700P and I am super excited! I haven't even unboxed it yet so can't give you a review but I can't wait to put it throughnits paces.

    I am a Janome gal and lucky that I am own the 9400. I purchased it three years ago and have not had one problem and I sew most every day. The needle threader works, the accufeed system is awesome and its just a wonderful machine. They now sell an upgrade for about $100 and it comes with a ruler foot and a few other items. My understanding is this upgrade would make it comparable to the new 9450. My first computerized machine was a Janome Memory Craft 3500 and I still sew on it as well. I trust the Janome brand as this machine makes the 4th Janome machine I have purchased. It also has an indicator as to when the bobbin is running low (you can change the setting), great lighting and just completely satisfied. Also there is a great tutorial on YouTube that the Chatterbox Quilts has put out there for the 9400 and the 9450. She does a very good job of explaining the machine.

    I have a Janome 6600MC and absolutely love it but I know every model is different. I have had mine for 10 years and have it maintained every other year at my LQS and it runs great. good luck on what you decide and let us know.

    I have not had any issues with the 6700. I traded the 6600 for the 6700, for the features the 6600 did not have. Both the 6600 and 6700 need to be cleaned more in the bobbin area. I keep a small vacuum near by, and use when I see fuzz building up.
