Here in the Northeast part of the US ...the Babylock Jane runs around $850 usd, the Brother 1500 around $700 and the Juki TL98Q (now discontinued but the Juki 2000 or 2010 has replaced it) runs around $850-900 usd. I have been doing research for the last 6 months so I am informed of the prices. I bought a used Brother 1500 for $425 which includes shipping across the country. Having other Babylock/Brother machines I like the quality of them. I have heard almost nothing but good about Juki too. There is also the Pfaff Mega or Pfaff Grand quilting machines they run around the $850 usd but I have heard problems about tension with them. The Janome I have heard has given some people problems. Who knows? The same goes for so many items some people swear by them and others don't care for them.
