Memory Craft 6600 Professional Sewing & Quilting Machine- opinions?

I am seriously lusting after this sm.... but.... I have concerns about the Accu-Feed system which is brand new for Janome on this model. Does it *really* work as well as a walking foot or is it a poor, weak substitute? I don't want to buy the machine and then be disappointed when it can't pull the quilted sandwich and binding thru the machine. I know I can try it out at my dealer's showroom, but the buying lust might make me prejudiced in favor of it! VBG

Does anybody own one and what do you think about sewing on bulky bindings, etc. with the Accu-Feed? TIA

I just got the 6600 in November and love it! I have had no trouble with the walking foot, however, take a "sandwich" to your LQS and try it out. My LQS owner is very friendly and informative and hopefully yours will be too. The machine is their quilting model - and I love it for my quilting needs. I love not having a foot pedal and can cut the thread with a push of the button. You never have to worry about the machine coming unthreaded when you start the next seam.

Good luck, but give it a try first.

Hi Leslie,

I have the 6500 which came out first and doesn't have the accu-feed system, so I can't comment on that aspect of it. In other respects the two machines are very similar and I think it's a great machine. There is a yahoo group all about them, however, that can tell you anything you ever wanted to know. You'll find it at snipped-for-privacy@yahoogroups.com. It is for those who either have or are interested in finding out about the 6500 and 6600. HTH.

It really works for me. I find it just as good as a regular old walking foot but very quiet..no thunk, thunk sounds.

So nice to have the extra space for quilting too!
