Very possible. They're nice smooth running machines when properly cared for, so a "smaller" motor might do just fine. I got a belt for it today, and I think it's a little too long, as soon as I fire the machine up, it throws the belt. I will wait til tomorrow to try it again, because my focus is gone.

The juki foot I used on my TL98Q was this one:
