Why can't you FMQ on your 750? Doesn't have a big throat space? Did it come with a BSR? I have the 820 and its just a little bigger than the 750, and I FMQ on it all the time. Before I spent anymore money, I would contact a good dealer, and have them help you make the machine work for you.

I have a love/hate relationship with my Bernina 550QE so I've decided to bite the bullet and buy a new sewing machine. I have been reading wonderful things about the Juki domestic machines and am considering the Juki HZL F600. Here in the UK this machine costs £1399.00 (approx. $2350.00), another big investment so I've got to get it right this time. I think it is the box feed that is swaying me to this machine.
My question is, does the box feed really make a difference with feeding fabric? Do the two pieces of fabric feed through evenly? Could anyone kindly post pictures of piecing you have done using a Juki F600?
I know the best thing is for me to go to a dealer and try one out but my local dealer is some distance away and I have a traveling phobia which means that the journey would be too much for me at the current time.

You know, SuzieQ, I probably should take the machine in for a check up, and maybe arrange some one-on-one FMQ training with the BSR. It drives me crazy because it only works right when I'm moving really fast, and I'm more of a slow person. Thanks!

I am pleased to hear all of this talk about the Juki Exceed 600 as this is the machine that I am considering buying. I have really disliked my Janome 6500 and need to replace it. I love my Juki TL98 but as it is straight stitch only, there are times that I really need a few fancy stitches. I too want to get it "right" this time as the Janome 6500 was so wrong.
