I have a Baby Lock jane, got it last year. It is a straight stitch only machine, has to be oiled, you can adjust the upper tension, if needed, feed dogs do drop, it has 4 settings for the feed dogs, it has a thread cutter that cuts bobbin and thread at the same time, it has an extension table and has an adjustment so needle will stop up or down. About 850.00 or 900.00
We just bought for a Daughter a Brother PQ 1500S and is about the same as the Jane. It is cheaper than the Jane. online for 600.00, there was a thread on here talking about the 1500S, some said it was about the same as the Juki and Jane and Juki was making them all and being sold under the other names.
I know all about these as I have them, I'm not guessing or making up anything. Just trying to help. Juki is more expensive than the Brother, more heavy duty feet. All FMQ very well and all are heavy machines. All of the above come with the FMQ foot and walking foot and a few more. I hope this helps.
