    Wholeheartedly agree Daniel. I have a Juki2010 and don't know that I would buy it if I had my time again. Too many quality control issues and here in Australia, I have found the dealer support most frustrating, to the point where I have voided my warranty by taking the machine to a technician I know I can trust. I have given up trying to get the walking foot issue and the needle centre-ing issue sorted. A big disappointment but I am still able to piece and quilt with it...it's just not the quality machine I thought it would be.

    I have a juki tl2010q and a Janome 9400. Without a doubt, for straight stitching the juki wins hands down over the Janome even with the hp needleplate/foot conbo. I’ve not use the juki for fmq but have tried recently to do SITD..Janome has it over the juki in that department. Lighting on the juki is terrible..i’ve added strip led’s...Janome lighting is better. Juki is less demanding in terms of thread and needles—Janome demands purple tip Janome needles for quilting layers although for piecing it works with most. I just got the Janome setup for ruler quilting but haven’t tried it yet. I’m glad I have both....if I could only have one, and if I don’t need the bells and whistles, juki would be my choice. Those stitches are beautiful.

    I just purchased the Juki 2200 for the same reasons you mentioned. I have 4 Janomes already but I wanted a “quilting” machine. I hope to play on it soon.
