For general sewing, I would strongly recommend against a straight stitch only machine, as a primary machine. As a secondary machine, they would be perfect (especially as a quilting machine)- but there are just so many reasons in sewing, both quilting and garment that a zig zag is needed.

I don't need any decorative stitches or alphabets- but a good adjustable zig zag, yes.

I have and enjoy my Juki 2010Q. No regrets. Expect to keep it for life, and someone will want it when they hold my estate sale.

Love my She is a workhorse and can handle many different thicknesses of fabric. Sometimes I don't even use the walking foot for several layers of fabric and she goes right along, feeding it all beautifully. I do take care to oil her as recommended. My sister-in-law has the 98 model (for many years) and just purchased the 2010Q. We are both fans!!

Love my Juki 600!

Love my Juki 2010Q also. I waited a long time before buying it, and have never regretted it for a second.

You mentioned a price of $950...I was able to get a "show model" from a dealer all the way across the country (in California). Shipped to me free, and under $700. Be sure to check around for bargains!
