I have a Juki 98 TQ and am also looking to get a Gracie frame to put that on for machine quilting, so i was kind of hoping not to have to keep taking that off the platform every time i wanted to sew. I am still in the planning stages, so nothing is set in stone yet.

Since you already have a brother you are familiar with the operating system as well, most are similar but there are some differences.

The ones that just embroider and not sew as well are more stable in my opinion, and less expensive, the dual machines tend to be more expensive, so if you have a good sewing machine may I recommend that you by a dedicated embroidery machine, that way you can sew and embroider at the same time.
