I have a Juki 98Q that I love, love, love! I also have a Baby Lock Ellegante that doesn't get used anywhere near as much as the Juki and cost several thousand dollars more. I bought my Mom a Bernina expecting to be able to use it until I died because of the way she took care of it, 6 mos after her death it was time for a cleaning and guess what they found something wrong with it that couldn't be repaired. I was so disgusted!!!! Anyway, I highly recommend the Juki, don't think you can go wrong.
