I love my Juki 2010 and have it on a frame (which I purchased from a member from this board). For the cost of my set up it is wonderful. I have less than $1500 for the whole set up including stitch regulator. You are really limited to the type of free motion quilting your can do because you don't have a huge throat but for meandering and "cute" meandering it works good. I have been able to make waves and everything with mine. If you want to do quilting professionally you may want to get bigger machine, but the way I look at it, it will get me through this time, and even if I get a bigger throat machine down the line, I will still have the best work horse for piecing in the Juki. That is just my opinion but I free motion quilted 6 queen size quilts on a singer embroidery machine the Christmas before last so this is so much better.
