:D I wanted a machine with more space in the throat...I was going for the Juki but...sinc I live in mexico I was afraid I won't have service for it....I bought a very similar machine the "Brother PQ1500" and it is just such a wonderful machine...I can't live without it...It has the knee lifting and outomatic threader and cuts the buttom and up threads automatically too (if I choose to)...and it came with a lot of different foots and accesories......and of course..the extension table.....Its not too heavy but very study.....I LOVE IT.....
Consider this machine ....
Now I am going for home made frame....hope to have one by the end of the year......
Good luck to all of us... :lol:
