I got mine from Sew-Vac Direct in a package with the GMQ frame. I was very pleased with their customer service and help. The little old sewing machine repair shop here said he loves them- they are easy to fix, and they never break. The local shops here are all about either Janome and Singer, or Bablylock, but when I did the comparisons and read reviews, it seemed like the Juki was what i wanted. I haven't regretted it for a minute.
