Changing a machine back and forth takes time and it can become frustrating. If you lived closer, I would be more than happy to sell you my 6600P with table as I am wanting a long arm. Good luck with your decision.

thats what I have decided to do get seperate ones ..
how do you like your 350E /
I see alot of people have either the 350E or 300 I think it is.

I'm sure when I go tom to test my dealer will show me Babylock cause she said she replace it over the 11000 she doesnt carry anymore unless someone wants it . She said Babylock was much better and easier than the 11000 but she didnt say what model of Babylock. But I'm sure I'll find out tom lol

I've seen an embroidery machine creating away while the owner was using her other machine for sewing another project. She has a business embroidering towels and such. I thought it was a grand setup, but I'm sure pricey. Good luck making your decision...make a pros and cons list to help you decide and don't forget to go with your "gut" feeling!
I'm a Janome girl, but I'd love to have a Bernina. Used one in a class and it just hums along! but I'm happy with the Janome.

I have both the Horizon and the 11000 SE and love them both. That said, if I had to choose 1, it would definitely be the 11000 SE--she's my baby!! Several reasons besides the embroidery--bobbin low indicator, easy to read screen, needle down (yes, the others have it, too, but easier on the 11000). Have had my 11000 SE for over 5 years and still in love! Good luck with your decision.

Horizon; which I have. Embroidery is expensive and often times one doesn't use it much after they get it.

I think your statements say it all. You know which one you want, but you seem concerned because not as much owner feedback. Can your dealer give you some owners you can contact?

It's a built in even feed (walking foot). If I had the $$ I would get the 7700 but if I was interested in embroidery, I would get the 6600 and a less expensive embroidery machine.

right cause before you know it you'll end up with 8 to 10 grand in them and thats what I'm trying not to do thats just toooo much !!!!
I want a good quilting machine and a decent embroidery machine .
Not worried about the free arm I have that already covered :-)

I had a Babyloc. I purchased it used, it worked great. Did more than I needed so I was intimidated by it. Sold it last year when I got more serious about sewing and started quilting.
I have a Janome, which suits me fine DC2020. But I have to tell you, the Babyloc I had was the Cadillac. It ran, no it hummed along. Then I took a class and used a Bernina and it hummed along, too. If I had money to toss around I'd get another Babyloc or Bernina, and I wouldn't mind getting a reconditioned machine if the store is reputable and services the unit.
