I love my Juki 2010Q. It is straight stitch, mechanical rather than computerized, and it sews a beautiful stitch. It has speed control, a knee-lift (though my sewing table doesn't allow me to use this), and a wonderful automatic thread cutter (both a button and on the presser foot). I make a lot of string quilts, and I LOVE the automatic thread cutter! The speed control is wonderful because this machine can stitch reallyreally fast.
