The Juki TL-2010Q absolutely ROCKS! I have lots of sewing machines, high end, vintage... this is THE machine for piecing. Beautiful straight stitch, thread cutter, and a presser foot knee lever. Call Les at Ed Raicherts and tell him CJ Tinkle sent you, you'll get a better price. I do not get any kickbacks, Raicherts is simply fantastic to do business with.
