Once in a great while, specifically twice in 20 years, we see a machine that is so special and so beloved that we almost never get them traded in. The first such machine was the Memory Craft 6000. Several years later came the Memory Craft 7500, a quick successor to the Memory Craft 7000. In 2003 we saw the debut of the Memory Craft 6500P, and it was an overnight success. Popular as it was, there were features that were requested and Janome has responded with the Memory Craft 6600P. It has all the features that were loved on the 6500P -

	The largest arm and bed space of any household machine, at 9" x 5"
	Straight stitch speed of 1,000 stitches per minute
	Automatic thread cutter
	Bobbin winder with its own motor, so you can wind a new bobbin while sewing
	Knee lift for presser foot
	Hundreds of stitches, including letters

Now add these exciting features to the 6600P -

	Start/Stop button for sewing without using the foot control
	Dual sewing lights
	Improved screen clarity with more information on the screen
	AccuFeed Layered Fabric Feeding System features a built-in walking foot, coupled with Janome's exclusive 7-point feed system

No doubt about it, this is another Janome classic model that will not ever be easy to find on the used machine market!

Looking for a machine that is tough enough for the heavy duty, but flexible enough for delicate work? This fully computerized model fits the bill perfectly with a great selection of features:

	30 stitches, available from lighted buttons, including 6 buttonholes
	3 levels of foot pressure adjustment
	Needle up/down
	Start/Stop button for sewing without using a foot control

The just-released model 3160QDC is a quilter's dream machine at a budget price. Start with the fact that it's a fully computerized model, with 60 stitches, needle up/down, adjustable speed control, LCD screen with backlight, and a 7mm stitch width. Add to that the extended free arm and 6-level presser foot adjustment. The 3160QDC is a full size machine, but it only weighs 12 pounds! This model also comes with a  built-in thread cutter which can be programmed to automatically cut when the lock stitch is done at the end of a seam. There's a 1/4" foot, an open-toe foot, and extension table packed right in the box. It comes with a hard shell cover, for easy transport to class.

If you are not yet a quilter, but still want a great machine for home decorating projects, the 2160DC is a perfect choice. It packs the same 60 stitches as it's "big sister," the 3160QDC, as well as presser foot adjustment, LCD backlit screen, START/STOP button, one-hand needle threader, needle up/down, speed control, and more. It does not come with the 1/4" foot, the open toe foot, or extension table. The cover is a soft vinyl, rather than a hard shell, and it does not have a thread cutter. All this adds up to a tremendous value, whether you are a seasoned veteran or just getting started.
