Hello from Atlanta! You do beautiful work. Re: machines I have the Juki 2010Q purchased from a local dealer and like it very much. Might could have bought it for a bit less on the internet, but I wanted the support of a local dealer. That said, this machine is not complex, so maybe I should have saved that $100. Anyway, I expect to keep it for life. Do have a smaller machine with fancy stitches, but seldom use it.
