Just to add a note. The Juki TL98 Q does have a new one out, but I question it's improvements. It does have a slide bar for speed control and for free motion quilting, that would be a perk. But If you are using it on a quilt frame like for instance the Grace frame and there are others. The stitch regulator won't work on the new model. Also the speed control doesn't seem to work correctly as well. A new one is comming out, but not ready as yet. So if your are shopping, I hope this helps.
