I have a 6 month old Juki TL98q. It's a semi-industrial machine. I use it as a domestic for mostly machine quilting. I don't have it set up on a frame like most people do. I just have it on my sewing table and I do a lot of quilt as you go style quilts. So I machine quilt sections of quilts at a time with it. I really like it because it's fast and simple.

I want to start using it to do some strip piecing but I found that the quarter inch foot that came with it is not good at all. I need to find a better foot for it. Actually a Juki TL98 user recommended a non-juki 1/4 foot and I found one online and I just need to get around to order it.

I would recommend this machine as a second machine (because it only does straight stitch), but be aware that it's hard to source normal quilters feet for it and Juki doesn't have a great website for support, maintenance, or accessories.
