Juki TL-98Q Mechanical Sewing Machine

Pros: Tuff machine uses reg needles. Large underarm area. Big bobbins & a knee lift, Yeah!
Cons: Took a little while to get used to the speed,it helped on long curtain runs.

I needed a tuff machine to help me with my hobby. I renovate furniture as well as make my own. I didn't have a lot of room in my workshop but needed to sew upholstery fabrics ( I love micro suede). I went to my local sewing store and they let me use ...

Pros: Fast, powerful, versatile
Cons: trouble with autothreader

This machine is so durable, I love the speed, I can't believe I didn't have one sooner. I find the autothreader hard to work, so I don't use it, but that is my only complaint. I can sew through heavy fabrics, and do delicate quilting. Definately recommend this!

Pros: Top quality, arrived in a couple of days. Best price.
Cons: More expensive than regular home machines.

Great machine, much better than a Janome or Brother home-sewing machine. Easy to use, very durable. Comes with all the stuff (bobbins, different feet, etc.) Very happy with purchase. Juki machines are top quality. Works well in quilting frame as well. Found same exact machine on www.raichert.com for only 849.00 with free shipping. Site recommended by our quilting guild in New England.
