I'm not sure of the model, but I can be sure that the machine is going to be in working condition... :D
I'll keep you updated... :)
wow..but just so you know...those commercial Jukis are NOT like a regular DSM....they are geared to sew really fast..I mean really fast...
they have to oiled every hour of use, and are tempermental about threads!
I tried to quilt on my dads and gave up...it needs a stitch regulator but I don't want to put $300 into it...
I think that's great advice, so she'll be on the look out for such things, but things may have changed since you received your machine. Sewing machines in general have advanced a good deal in recent years. She may have a completely different experience, and I'd hate to have her going into this experience with anything but lots of positive vibes! I think this is the best news since sliced bread! Do keep us up-to-date on how the machine is working!
I have a Brother machine built for the Commercial market, and not intended for home use. It does not need to be oiled, and I haven't noticed any "fussiness" about threads, or anything else for that matter. Sometimes I have to write to Brother to get the right sewing foot I want, but they always find it in "the back warehouse" somewhere! They've been great! I love this machine! It sews through layers of denim, leather, anything! Powerful thing! And does just as well with silk-like materials.
