I've had my Juki 2010 since August and love it more every time I sit down to sew. My favorite thing was making a wallet recently and sewing the sides, with front, back, pockets, interfacing, accordian-folded card pockets, and two layers of stabilizer - at least twelve layers of varying thickness. Not even the slightest grumble from the Juki. My old machine, I would have had to baby it through that, rip and redo, and use some choice words. The Juki is a keeper for sure!
