Janome MC6600P
After using one of these machines at a quilting retreat I went to last fall, I was hooked. This is the best quilting machine, it's got some embrodery stitches and the thread cutter button. But the best thing about this machine is the accu-feed that has interchangable feet to help you in what ever you are doing at that time. I have the stitch in the ditch accu-feed foot, the 1/4 foot (which I use to do my bindings, and it works like a dream!) I also have the open toe so I can do decorative stitches and not have puckers on the quilt back. I'm still learning the many things it can do, and as the motto of my favorite quilt shop says, "I have more fun with a sewing machine than I should have" And that's just not whistling dixie!!!!
If you have a dealer in your area, you really should try one. :lol:

I absolutely love my 6600 too! I have all the extra feet and use it almost daily. I don't know why I settled before. I had it in for cleaning and I about died without it. Anyone who is interested in this machine should check it out. My favorite online quilt group is the Janome Jedi's 6500/6600 quilt group. I learn so much from everyone.

I have a Janome 6600 which I love, but.......... when I'm piecing and using the thread cutter on the machine, the thread underneath ALWAYS blobs up at the beginning of a new line of stitching. I have tried pushing the fabric thru past the place where I should begin stitching to hopefully straighten out this thread, but to no avail. In fact sometimes that makes it tighten up and it pops out of my needle and I need to then re-thread the needle.
Any suggestions?

Try holding onto the thread tails as you begin to sew, this happens on most machines. If you remember to hold onto the thread tails as you start sewing, they won't get all blobbed up underneath, nor will the thread pull out of the needle (which happens when the thread take-up lever is not at it's highest position). After a while, it will become 2nd nature to you.

I learned the way you describe on my Bernina 830 in the 1970's. Oops, now I'm dating myself. Oh, well.
But using the automatic thread cutter on my Janome, it cuts the thread so short you don't have anything to grab hold of. In fact, it seems to hold the top thread down underneath so that it isn't even visible on top.

After having my Janome for about 2 years I discover on this site Janome Jedi's -- tell me more. Is it a website? I also have a 6500 and LOVE IT! Especially with the long arm. Yeah! I make window treatments and quilts when I have time, so I really give it a workout and it does wonderful. I had previously had 2 Berninas and when I finally blew out the motor on the last one I really looked around and fell in love with my Janome.

Yesterday I bought a new free motion quilting foot and a bobbinholder (for free motion) for my MC Janome 6600P. I have been quilting all day, and belive you me it is a greate investment!!! :lol: :lol: Its like sewing on butter :lol: :shock:
Free motion Quilting Foot: part no.: 200-442-004 (MC6600P and MC11000)
Bobbin Holder (for free quilting and hand-look quiltstitch): part no.: 200-445-007 (MC 6600P, MC11000 and MC6500)
Bet you would love to have those too if you are doing a lot of free motion! The quiltfoot you can adjust so it works perfectly on your quilt!
:lol: :wink: I am sooooo happy!!!!

I'm learning machine applique.....trying to use Sharon Schamber's method which appears to be excellent because she gets lots of awards...............
Washed my first piece and found my stitching to be 'less than perfect' so I'm hoping some of you who machine applique will tell me what settings you use.
I'm using Mode #2, stitch 36, set at 1 and 1 for width and length. Also lowered the tension and presser foot setting.
I had some raw edges peeking out after washing and wonder if my folded under part is too narrow, or my stitch is too narrow, or ..... now I did notice one lenth of turned under where I completely MISSED the fabric. I don't believe this can be blamed on anyone but ME!
Any comments, or advice?
Thanks in advance.
