I have a Juki 98E with a Quilter's Cruise control. The Cruise control does a good job for me and I have practiced a lot. Here is where I feel the advantage is to having this unit. Without spending lots of time practicing anyone can quilt immediately. This machine is in my home and I can use it when I want to. My friends (dear quilty friends) don't have a quilting machine. They can come to my house and with a little instruction on threading and how the machine moves..they can quilt also. Even my little friend who is 10 years old can quilt on it. She has been doing so for over a year. Guess what I am saying is I like it and can share my machine and we can all quilt even though we haven't all had a lot of practice.
