I have a quilting service and I run a Gammill to do the quilting. In my shop I have a Bernina which we use for What ever! In my sewing studio in my home I have a Juki TL 98, which I use for piecing, binding, etc, and I love it! I can cut thread, with footcontrol, raise and lower needle with one button push, raise presser foot with knee, and automatic needle threader. This machine is a workhorse and does the jobs that I purchased it to do. But remember now, that this machine does not zigzag, no pretty stitches, no bells no whistle, BUT Boy can it sew!
