When I was looking for a machine, I told the salesman my budget and that I would be primarily be quilting but would also like a machine that could handle making drapes and pillows. He lead me to the Juki F600 and it spoke to me right away. He demonstrated some other well known brands but the Juki could sew through multiple thicknesses of denim and was so much quieter. I read every review I could find (because I wasn't familiar with Juki) and found wonderful reviews. I've never regretted my purchase. I got so many features with my F600 that would have cost lots more $$ on other brands. Check it out.
