I love my Juki-TL98Q. It is fast and the feet and walking foot is much heavier than Janome machines. I really really disliked my Janome 6500 and it did not live up to any of the good things that I had heard about it. My Juki quilts so much better than my Janome ever did and cost about a third as much as the Janome. Juki wins hands down.
